I have tyred to get an answer from Gp as to a support for the "B" engine. The web site indicates that it is to be offered soon. I've called and left phone no., and emailed about release date. So far NO reply.

They will not be making one for the "b" motors.

I see this referred to often, just what are we talking about here?

In 2003 HD changed the main bearings in the crankcases to a cheaper less robust bearing. These cheaper bearings have been known to fail on motors producing hp and tq numbers up over 100+. (This is the reason that RC / GP came up with the bracket). The "timkin" conversion takes your cases and machines them to allow fitment of the older style more robust Timkin bearings. The tough part is that to do this you need to pull the motor and split the cases to have the work done.

Thanks for the update.
