Hoist give me a call we are a S&S service center as well a dealer. I also have another vendor that has some great prices on complete S&S engines as well dropme aline on what you need and what color. We can go from there. And dont give me crap about not know what a evo is.
P.S. the engine i have on the bench now would make you drool!!! 53 pan 100% STOCK!!!! Been in storage for the past 33 years, The customer has the complete bike . Next step will be to bring it back with new paint and some of the small parts are missing but overall the bike is 97% stock.
Hey Steve, how's it going? I had ordered the S&S 113" engine in silver for $5100. Then I started looking into getting rid of the 4-speed keywayed tapered shaft transmission, which requires new clutch assembly, inner and outer primary, new starter, etc. You know the drill. Started getting pricey for an '85 overhaul. 2 weeks later, we got a special offer from CCI. New Revtech 110" w/6-speed Revtech Trans, heavy duty clutch, inner and outer primaries, comp sprocket, chain, sprockets, 1.7 KW starter, etc. A complete builder series driveline. Cancelled the S&S and ordered the RevTech package. I know, Revtech? But for the $$, I'll be fine with it. Since I'm getting a new front end w/Traxxion AK-20 conversion, BiTubos, PM brakes for complete bike overhaul. Didn't want to spend more than 10 grand to overhaul this bike. This package keeps it in budget. Appreciate your offer, but the driveline came in last week. Front end should be in this week, and forks getting shipped to Traxxion immediately after. So this overhaul has already started.
I like keeping everything local. My friend has a great shop in LI. Haven't had the best experience shipping stuff back and forth across the country, and getting someone local to install. Then they wash their hands of it when something happens, like the dealer did with my SERK just now. Dealer assembled the engine, screwed it up, and now due to all the time they spent already, don't want to stand behind it. I supplied all the parts, they screwed up the assembly, now they're done. I'm having my friend build an entire new engine for my SERK, from the bottom up, including new cases. He'll get the Timkin conversion done, new flywheels and rods, and use most of the new top end on it. I'll convert now to gear drive cams and R&R camplate, with the same grind cam as the original hot rod top end I have now. Not really looking for better numbers. I was real happy with the performance. But I need it assembled properly. I am looking for a bulletproof engine, not just a bulletproof top end.
That's why I'm doing the same with my '85. One guy ordering, building and assembling everything. Full responsibility with one shop. No finger pointing. And I'm out of the middle. Tired of getting stuck in the middle. I want a no questions asked responsibility with both bikes. And someplace I can go 20 minutes to have that service.
Thanks for looking out man!
Hoist!
