Carl, I'm sure you'd discussed this somewhere here.  But between teasing Harry and watching you pick on Chip and all the rest that's gone on I got distracted.  But was never disinterested.  So now I'm curious again.

What ended up being the changes?  How much more Maudie will there be than she was before?  And when does spring happen in West BG Virginia so you can wring her out a bit?

Hey, Twolane! 
  For starters, a complete new S&S Bottom End, complete with Rods.  Cylinders were out .004, so we punched them .010.  Replaced the Red Shift 647's with Wood Performance 650's, and Fueling-HD lifters, with HD Lifters and Push-Rods.  New "Bee-Hive", Valve Springs, and cleaned up the Heads and TB a little.  Like you said, "everything but the cases."  Couldn't do much more, as I'm in the area of diminishing returns.  The Ol' Girl had around 125 HP, 138 lbs. ft, previously.  If she produces any more, it won't be noticable in the seat of my britches.  I'm hoping to complete the "break-in", before Daytona, but it is what it is.  If I have to drop it off at Tilley's on the way back from Daytona for final tuning, I'll never hear the end of it from Unbalanced.  Merry Christmas!  Later--HUBBARD

Sounds like you're excited and looking forward to having her done Carl.  The old girl was ridden hard so it's hard to say she didn't deserve some new bits.  Unfortunate she took so many new bits.  But she earned it.

Will look forward to hearing or reading of the first reports after the bike is back in service.  You know it'll be fun!

Won't be able to make it to Daytona this year, but I think a video of the showdown race would go a long way.  I got $50 on Hubbard.  P.S. A quarter mile is fine with me.

Hubbard, go with the D&D (and a ghost pipe if you have to have it), you will not regret it, I promisse.

Appreciate the vote of confidence, there ggraves, but Ol' Maudie is set up for top-end.  I've never put her through a burn-out, nor have I ever power-shifted into 2nd or 3rd gear.  I did hit 2nd pretty hard once, and I almost lost her.  We like to roll on from about 70 or 80 MPH.  Not saying I don't abuse her.  It's obvious I do.  Jerking the Ol' Girl through the 1/4 mile, would tear up too much chit for me.  I get-off on those flat-out, WFO runs.  TRAFFIC has put a damper on those long runs of late.  The last year or so, traffic on Interstates 64, 77 & 81 is unreal.  "Bears" are everywhere in Southwest Virginia.  They did raise the speed limit in Va., at least in our area, to 70 MPH, but it's still Reckless Driving there over 80.  Harry knows Central Florida pretty well, and we've been lucky there so far.  Hell, as a matter of fact, I've been lucky everywhere.  Later--HUBBARD

Carl why not replace the stock cases with S&S cases to go along with that crank.?

Wanted to keep my original VIN, and as MIKEYTEE said, I wanted to keep the appearance of Stock.  It does take an experienced eye to identify the modifications.   Later--HUBBARD

It ain't too hard when they say Axtell on the side of them

Makes no difference if they say "BIG MOTOR" on 'em, most don't know what they're lookin' at.  If they ain't to mad to talk, after Ol' Maudie busts their a$$, all they want to know is "Whataya' got in that thing?"  Where's the picture of the Frame, numnuts? Later--HUBBARD

I think they're old Pratt Whitney WASP engine cylinders

Looks like we're gonna' "break-in", Ol' Maudie's New Motor on the dyno.  She'll be ready to hammer in Daytona.  Later--HUBBARD

[Gettinold]

Carl will you post your dyno sheet so we know what size nails and hammer to bring. Note: Gettinold carries a big "mall".   .   Please advise.

You know my thoughts on dyno sheets, Dave.  My previous dyno sheet is on here, somewhere.  I don't think there will be much difference.  Not in the "Seat of the Pants", anyway.  When this Motor gives its milk, I'll put a "Twin-Cam from Hell" in Ol' Maudie.  Tilley's designing it for me, now.   Later--HUBBARD
