ENGINE MODS AND UPGRADES!!!!
« on: August 17, 2007, 05:17:29 PM »

Oh Boy!!!!  I'm so friggin' excited!!  Finally, I have the blessing of the household finance committee to do whatever I want to my engine!!  Read that again:  WHATEVER I WANT!!!!  OK, there are limitations, but I can live within them.  I've found a builder.  He's on this forum.  Taking the scooter to him next week.  We're still discussing via phone, email and this forum exactly what we're gonna do, but it has grown from a desire for nothing more than reliability and longevity to "go ahead and make it the way you REALLY want it."  I gotta huge feeling that Renea is going to put me on double, triple, top secret, crypto, restriction for at least a year when it comes to buying stuff for the Harley, but I'm pretty sure I can wiggle out of that in about a month.   :2vrolijk_21:  Anyway, still too early to talk specifics, but I can say with certainty that displacement will increase, at least two CVOHarley forum members will have their hands in this build, the chains will go away, and the power side bearing and pressed flywheels will cease to be a source of worry for me.  PEACE of mind..........and more TORQUE!  WOW!  Now tell me, other good LOVIN' from a GREAT LADY, does it get any better than that? 

Nope!  Didn't think so.

Henry,
Congrats and good luck on your build. This will be exciting times ahead for you. I can remember well how I sat w/anticipation as all my mods were coming together. Can't wait to see the outcome of your efforts, and I know the smile on your face will say it all. :vrolijk_4: I might suggest if you don't already ride w/the backrest you get used to it. If your build will be like any of the others here you'll want to have it on the bike the first time you twist the wick. ;) :vrolijk27:

Of all the things I've done to my bike, the best money I've spent has been on engine mods.  The rest is just chrome.  (Sorry, 'D00d.)

Have fun, Henry! :2vrolijk_21:

Exactly Brian!

You know the answer.

 Your a lucky man , my wife gave me the green light on my WG3 and I had a blast figuring out the right combo , ended up with a very strong motor that was a total kick to ride. 

Enjoy , the journey there is as much fun as the ride after :2vrolijk_21:
