Just got my April issue of Cycle World yesterday.
On page 88 to 90 there is an article on the 120" H/D motor.

I find it interesting that the article says that "Just be aware that commercially available

is that a twin cam motor

SOUNDS INTERRESTING, DO YOU THINK THEY WILL PUT THAT IN A NEW BIKE THIS YEAR

NO, I feel that they will hold off for awhile because of the stricter EPA regs coming online applicable to the whole industry.

Most of the current pipes are tuned for an 80"-88" environment. On the Rinehart website under "tuning tips" for 95" on up they recromend to cut the baffles in half reinstalling the back half in its original location and they also say once you reach 113" to 124" to remove the baffles completly

Yeah, 'er 'uh, reo,
 Removing the baffles completely does not apply to 113" or Larger Motors on FLH Models with true-duals.  I may be wrong. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  I tried to contact Gerald this a.m., but no luck.  If I am wrong, I'll correct. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  Later--HUBBARD

Thanks for that Hubbard, I'm going to cut my baffles and play with the tunning mid summer. I'm running the staggard duals on a softail. Probably wont do any major engine work for a bit tho. Please post Geralds opinion on the true dual spec for larger engines, I would be interested as would others here.

btw, when we finally meet you in person at the get together next month are you going to be the guy that starts every sentence with "Yeah, 'er 'uh"

 Probly' not!  Unless, I deem those particular attention getters to be the onslaught of untold wisdom and instruction to those seeking HORSEPOWER, nerves of STEEL in HARD and FAST Motorsickle ridin', and in general, developing an uncanny ability to make people like them!

Yeah, 'er 'uh, reo,
 I just had the pleasure of speaking with Gerald.  I was correct in one of my statements, and incorrect in the other.  Gerald said we should NOT remove the baffles from the RINEHART True-Dual system for the FLH models.  I was incorrect in stating there were long and short baffles.  SHRADER was correct in stating the difference is in the diameter of the baffles.  I have 2 1/2" baffles in mine, which is what Gerald said was needed for the BIG MOTORS, 95 cu. in., and bigger.  He said the 2 1/4" baffles were desinged for Stock, 88 cu. in. Motors.  He would not comment on the subject of removing baffles for more power.  Later--HUBBARD
