Okay I have tried to upload a video twice, and each time the video is too big. I wanted you guys to hear this bike.
I inherited Dads 2005 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUI Utra Classic Electra Glide. CVO 103 .
I come from a biker family and left for the army at 18, got into sport bikes, and owned a few Harleys in my time, but never got into the performance side.
Just looking for any information that may be helpful. this bike runs like a monster. it has 45k on it as of today. and here is its current build according to my dad.
Screaming eagle cam chest kit with oil pump 257 cams and gear drive. Rinehart exhaust, pistons changed compression at 9;6;1 custom dyno tune , used to have a
Vance and Hines fuel pack. Ultima 6 speed transmission. It feels like the cams come on around 2600, and they come on hard. and the bike wants to pull past 6k
my dad told me not to lug this engine to keep the rpms above 2800. he also said the cam go from 3k to approx 7k. I just picked the bike up from Nola Harley Davidson
Had a full service done, that included greasing and adjusting cables, changing wheel bearings, full fluid service. and new from brake pads. Had the motor mounts inspected
along with Swing arm bushings. everything is good to go..
is there anything I need to look out for with this bike ?
I am also told by my dad that this is a bullet proof engine, that he would have no issue taking from San Diego to Maine and back. I am planning on attending sturgis next yr,
if I was on my R1, I would know what sounds and smells to be aware of , any advice on what to look out for, my dad is 74 and is starting mental decline, so , its hard to talk Harleys with him.
I came here do to lack of information on the internet. everything is read is that 257 cams are crap, my dad loves them and he is 6'3 235 lbs.
