Very interesting post. I have a '93 FXR that I disassembled last winter in preparation for me to install my 120" Merch/Zipper's motor.  Just haven't gotten around to it and I recently sold the 120" Merch in order to finance a Zipper's 120" build for my '07 FLHTCU.

I plan to resume the FXR project over this winter and would be very interested in how you like the S&S 124".  Wes Brown and CycleRama have a great reputation. Post some pics and a dyno sheet if you have one.

Beautiful FXR Free. Must be fast. Can I ask you big inch engine guys if you know anything about the Big Air Carb from PSI Power? http://psipowerinc.com/ I've used nothing but S&S Supers, but this carb seems really slick. All adjustments are with external click knobs to dial it in. No internal jets to change for tuning. It's a little pricey, but I'm thinking of trying it on my stroker. They also say money back guarantee. If anyone knows about this carb, please let me know or PM me. Thanks, Hoist!

Hoist,

My carb experience on big motors has been either Bob Wood modified Kehin CV, http://www.woodcarbs.com/carbs.htm, or Mikuni flatslide.  Both worked quite well but I'll admit that I preferred the Mikuni given it was about half the price.  The PSI Big Air looks interesting and is competitively priced with the Bob Wood offerings, but still expensive. Their 10-18 HP  guarantee "in most cases" makes me wonder about the value of their claim.  If they would flat out guarantee even 10 HP, it would be worth the investment. Certainly worthy of further research and contact with the company.

Good assessment and I agree, but it looks like a pretty nice unit. They are also claiming "money back if you're not happy - but you're going to be happy", when he e-mailed me back. I love the idea of using the S&S 2-1/16" manifold and S&S A/C assembly too. If I get more info or decide to pull the trigger, I'll let you know. Hoist!

Thanks, I look forward to hearing about your progress.

Hoist - i talked to Wes at CycleRama. He ordered the PSI Carb and will do a back to back test with his 124 with Makuni 48mm.  He thinks the claims may be too good to be true but will test it.  He says he will get back to me in a couple weeks with the results. Bruce at PSI seems knowledgable but doesn't have any Dyno sheets to back up his claim but rather drops names of chopper builders.  it will be interesting to see what Wes thinks of it after testing it.

You missed this claim:

"Carb So Simple - Anyone Can Use It!!
BIG HP GAINS GURANTEED!
15-22 HP in most cases
Better than Nitrous"

Someone's been sniffing way too many fumes.

Jerry

I guess he's going for the "sensationalist" approach. Didn't pay much attention to his numbers claims, the overall package sounded worth trying with no risks. Generally speaking though, if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Not in any hurray. Maybe somebody here can report on it.
