OK guys I got a call from Danny today. The EAGLE is going to Zippers as soon as I can get it down there. I am going to try to do it thursday. The bike will get a set of Red Shift TC557 cams with gear drive installed for some dyno testing. Keep in mind this is going to be a bolt in operation only at this time and I

Great news Dawg.

[Twolanerider]

Don the Thunder Max may not have given me more usable H/P per say. I can tell you the throttle response is unreal!!!!! I guess it would be had to imagine untill you have one.

That's what I'd gathered from the dyno comparisons I'd seen and the seat of the pants reports Mike.  Their real benefit (at least for an otherwise stock motor) is an increase in efficiency, smoothness and crispness.  All good things.  

Have the boys there given you an ETA as to when they'll be done using your bike for a test mule?  Everyone here is always so patient for information after all [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] !

I am actually going a little nuts waiting for this stuff as I am very happy with the basic Zippers upgrades I have and want more SOOOOOOOOOOON.  I am willing to wait however long it takes to see what the
Dawg does though as he seems to be on track for good things and in touch with those who know at Zippers.  If they come out with a packaged improvement from cams alone I would be a little surprised as the very low compression would seem to be an obsticle and they seem to prefer great outcomes.  That outer bearing upgrade seems to be logical to me versus splitting the cases but it may be a bandaid on a real problem versus getting the timkins done.  JP   [smiley=banana.gif] [smiley=banana.gif]

PS 4800 miles in 6 months on the Screamin Chicken and it seems to be running better than ever now that we are getting some cool clear air down here.  I threw 4 ounces of militec in it and it seems to like that so far as well.  It did throw the extra 4 ounces out the breather in about 50 miles as I expected.

I put 4 ounces 1 per qt. in the engine as specified by militec and it threw the extra 4 ounces of combined oil/militec out the breather as my engine likes about 1/4 "above fill level no more no less.  I will stick some in the primary when I add the m5 tensioner I got recently and change that oil as well.  Did not think about the tranny yet, but I will look into the clutch question before I do.  If I find out something fairly reliable I will post that as well.  The militec does work like magic in guns and seems to lessen engine wear from everything I have seen but does give off a fairly toxic gas when it heats up and bonds for the first time.  I would not warm up the bike in the garage for a while after I did this as I could sense the fumes coming out of the breather on my first couple of rides with it in the bike.  JP  [smiley=banana.gif]

Not to distract from the basic thread GO ZIPPERS I WANT MORE RELIABLE POWER ASAP

[pappy2]

I also agree with the prior post on the ECM.  The consistent and reliable throttle response are really a world apart from the stock ecm and any other TC I have ridden.  It just plain runs great.  JP

MILLITEC?? I didn't know you guys even knew what is was. Now to burn you guys up even more. It is sold right here in MD!!!!! When I picked my first batch I went to his townhouse to make the purchase!!!!

I will let you guys know when I get the bike over to Zippers.

DAWG, Can't wait to hear how things go. Getting closer to getting my intake cough being resolved as the Zipper's guys put it.

TL, Just to throw my comment back in: thr throttle response is very crisp, much better than the HD unit. It really hard to beleivably describe how improvement there is over the HD stockers.

Maybe we could get a t-shirt thing going "I got mine at Zippers", "Zip it" on one side and the CVO logo on the other, "You just been Zippered!" or "You need Zippers"... Yeah, yeah, I'll quit watching that TT video

Jim they are just going to be testing some cams at this point. If they want to do more that is fine also. My complete package is ready for the build just waiting till Zippers gets done testing. I really won't need the bike now till the weather breaks or if I make the trip south in March. But I always have my ultra which has been neglected for the past 16 months.

Just to let everyone know who is interested in the Zippers Packages I am taking my SEEG to Zippers this morning. I will talk to Dan and try to get a time line on them doing the 557 bolt in and dyno tune the bike so we can get some numbers. Again this will be a gear driven bolt in cam on a basicly stock SEEG 103. The bike has a Zippers throttle body and ECM and the exhaust is a Thunder Header. I will post something tonight to let everyone know how long it will take. I did talk to Bill L two days ago and he said it was crazy around there. He also said the CAMS were on the shelf!

OK the bike is there. I did talk to Danny in depth about what was going on. It seems they were in fact waiting for my bike. There are 3 cams to be tested. Cam number 1 is in fact Zippers Red Shift 557 in the gear driven variety. Cams 2 and 3 are test versions and at this point in time I can not really talk about (mainly because I don't know that much) them. They are working on some heads and they are making head way but it is slow. They are not looking for a good design but a great design. I did not see the one set they have done mainly because I was in a hurry. I am going to return next week and spend a day with them. Maybe by then one of the cams would have been tested. I can also tell you it takes more than a day to install the cams and create a map for the new setup. I hope to have a dyno sheet next week or so. I also will have a better grip on where they are heading and why. I know that they are all about usable TQ.


Even though I have a very good setup for my bike I am very interested in these packages. If this bolt in cam produces some good numbers then most of the people out there will have a very good build up for their 103's that can be done in stages.

If there is anything you guys would like to know or would like me to suggest to or ask the guys at Zippers just let me know.
