Text of the page (random words):
pec hasn t gone on her shiny starter is definitely for sportsters only you can tell the difference i was patiently told when the starter motor is off the engine by looking at the grubby end where its gears engage with the motor proper still live and learn and yet another good reason to do these projects special for me but not for cycle enterprises where it s all in a day s work was that the s s 510v camshaft is now in place geoff just threw that factoid in almost as an aside so i m guessing that it wasn t too much of a hassle so too i m guessing that the s s high performance hydraulic tappets are also installed seeing as the bottom end is complete and likewise was so easy a task that he never thought to mention it specifically and okay i forgot to ask so er yeah i m guessing they re are already in place when he assembled the rest of the bottom end it would be logical captain top end wise geoff has re cut the valve seats and polished the exhaust outlets in the head and replaced the tired slightly pitted exhaust valves with a new set supplied by manley he explained that exhaust valves lead a much harder life than the the inlet valves and mine were looking a tad rough but not unexpected given the mileage and age of the bike the exhaust valves were too rough unfortunately to attempt to re cut as so much meat would have had to be removed that the valve would ve risen too far into the rocker boxes chatting with tony who i d collected en route we ve decided to polish the distinctive evo rocker box and covers top and bottom with the distinctive evolution middle sections painted gloss black so perhaps looking like a a particularly generous marmite sandwich with a bit of luck when they come back to geoff he ll finish the top end installing the s s quickee pushrod set which were sitting tantalisingly close to the motor which are ready to be dropped inside their thin chromed sleeves and over the new s s lifters when tony and i popped in on fireworks day we also took the opportunity to drop off the original petrol tank which tony has restored to a gleam he s invisibly filled a small chip in the paintwork the chip was luckily on the black area this is a good thing matching the silver would have been a real bitch matching blacks is hard enough tony has also lovingly re polished the lacquer to a glass like finish if the work he s yet to do on the colour matched panniers and mudguards come out anything like as perfect i ll be more than well chuffed so big thanks this instalment to geoff and the crew at cycle enterprises stoke golding warwickshire tel 01455

have been classically beautiful but what a bike and in its place a bike that we should ve ridden months ago the 8 ball hammer victory s budget muscle bike is missing a second floating disc and 4 pot caliper up front but makes up for it with a trip through the paintshop coming out dripping of night with a liberal dose of attitude the 250 section rear tyre lets anyone behind know that they ve been passed by something special if they can see past the blinding multi array led taillight and the word from victory is that this will be staged during our time with it so it ll soiund as good as it

together on the project last weekend i drove south and delivered the last large item down to geoff at cycle enterprises the progressive suspension monotube fork kit for touring and softail models this is intended to replace the whole internal open bath damping assembly and promises to offer a high performance ride considerably improving the fork s handling under braking and cornering i m really hoping that the monotube kit will drop into my old 1994 5 forks without too much bother which if they do in effect will become low tech retro skins over 21st century gas charged monotube and progressive spring fork technology new for 2011 neither geoff or tony had seen the progressive suspension monotube fork kit before so they caused not a little excitement still on the front end we discussed the seized gma floating rotors i d fired off an e mail to bdl who now own gma but as of yet i ve not heard back from the guys so other options had to be explored on closer inspection the bobbins appear to be possibly stainless if so they might just need some cleaning up rather than replacing we ve decided to whip the twin discs off and tony will take them away and release the rotors from their carriers and give the bobbins a coat of looking at he ll also clean up the carriers removing the last of the chrome and paint them black hopefully removing any road dirt from around the bobbins and polishing them will allow the rotor to float free from the carrier once re assembled and considering the ferrous iron rotors are otherwise fine and the twin 6 pot calipers are fine job could well be done meanwhile geoff has whipped off the rear sub frame covers and pannier supports and sent them off for powder coating black and they re due back soon tony let me visit my petrol tank which has been kept well away from the busy workshop and despite the fact that he hasn t yet finished fettling it it s looking extremely shiny tony will lavish the same treatment on the panniers geoff has got the go ahead to begin the build proper as we re no longer waiting for anything important on the main part of the bike he ll re assemble the motor adding the new s s goodies and closely inspect the original parts for wear much of what geoff can offer my road king motor might not be necessary he remarked when he took it down that it seemed in remarkably good condition so only if his experienced evo eye picks up an issue and geoff feels it needs it will he hone the barrels and or re seat the valves likewise he could port and polish the heads though i was kind of hoping the port and polish would happen anyway i can fully agree with the if it ain t broke don t fix it ethos and if truth be told the motor was already a cracker before the project started labels h d flhr road king long term roadtests project bikes staff bikes 0 comments sunday july 31 2011 the project progresses 3 06 am posted by rich king edit post blog update road king july 2011 a lot s been done since the last entry on my evo road king evolution so you might want to make a cup of tea and get comfortable part one as planned geoff at cycle enterprises stoke golding warwickshire tel 01455 213 007 pulled out and broke the motor and put it to one side to concentrate on the unhealthy frame he then stripped blasted and dipped the frame to properly expose the damage which was truly frightening at the bottom rear loops of the engine cradle the top of those frame tubes had rotted away leaving only strips of cupped metal to brace and accept the swing arm assembly basically it could have failed catastrophically at any time and tony s probing finger pushed through the paint on the gussets a year ago probably saved my life geoff and other cycle enterprises bods gabby and blackie then chopped out and painstakingly reconstructed the dodgy areas replacing old tubing and re welding new plate where necessary they ve done a cracking job and with the new paint laid on by tony who prefers paint on frames to powder coat it s looking like brand new tony has also been taking parts back to his workshop for painting and powder coating as geoff has released them and when i went down in mid april he and i took the barrels and heads back to geoff s all four of which tony has sprayed with single adhesion 2k black this glossy black engine paint looks really good and is apparently very resistant to chipping tony has also had the wheels out and has cleaned them up blacking them out completely though the original intention to polish the sides of the rims has gone by the wayside as it was going to cost way too much but concerned about the sheer amount of uninterrupted black with the wheels and tyres i ran it past andy the ed and he suggested running a pinstripe round it s circumference in the same red as that on the original tank paintwork separating the black and silver so tony s going to do that once the wheels are back in and the bike is still suspended on the lift part two bruce tessmer at s s contacted am v central and asked if we would be interested in reviewing their new style spo touring mufflers and and if we wanted their new power tune duals too this was right at the time i was casting around for a new system to replace the bubba cross dressers that had done sterling service on my road king for many years after our understandably enthusiastic response bruce was careful to make sure of my road king s spec and we armed him with the its vin number to make identification as precise as possible my road king being registered in 1994 while this model was introduced for 1995 and seeing not a few changes in a short amount of time bearing in mind the bike s near stock spec and that the engine was already out of the frame and part disassembled on geoff s benches at cycle enterprises and i guess presumably wanting me to review the new s s exhaust system in its best light he also further suggested additional performance upgrades too listed below and sent them through at the same time spo touring mufflers kit featuring black end caps standard chrome 1995 up s s catalog part number 550 0002 as with the previous fully chrome s s oval section silencers i sold to nick the ex bike copper which effectively started this whole project this pair are heavy really heavy hopefully this means that they carry plenty of silencing tech and won t be silly loud s s liken the sound of these new silencers to the low rumble of an american 1960 s muscle car i reckon i can live with that the xylan black end caps on these new silencers should really suit the theme of the bike too and their oval section should also compliment the panniers being mounted directly underneath interestingly the s s catalog mentions that their spo touring mufflers offer increased performance with the proviso that they work best with s s air cleaner and or camshaft upgrade both of which were included as part of bruce s consignment s s power tune duals pipe exhaust header 2 into 2 1995 2008 touring s s catalog part number 550 0003 these are a great looking pair of pipes which moves the rear cylinder header underneath the frame rather than through it over the starter motor in order to protect the pillion passenger from radiated heat a frequent complaint to me from passengers on h d s touring range and has the added bonus of really tidying up the right hand side whether the rear pot pipe will affect ground clearance remains to be seen but the promotional photo of the system in situ with the silencers above fitted to a twin cam road glide seems to indicate that the power tune duals leave plenty of room if the spo touring mufflers above aren t to everyone s taste though s s indicate that these power tune duals are compatible with any other slip on silencers apart from looking extremely clean s s claim their power tune duals system offers an extra 8 horsepower over stock which if true will make a significant difference to my venerable old king s s teardrop air cleaner kit stock cv efi chrome 1993 2011 s s catalog part number 17 0450 ever since i became aware of harley davidsons and dreamed of one day owning one i ve wanted my harleys to be fitted with s s s iconic teardrop air cleaner it will fit my road king s stock cv carb and that the teardrop also potentially offers an additional 5 horses over stock according to the catalog is near nigh perfect s s 510v camshaft 1984 99 big twins s s catalog part number 33 5124 the 510v bolt in cam bruce has chosen is exactly the cam i would have chosen myself as it should offer a bit more punch in the mid range without affecting adversely smooth power delivery throughout the range it s relatively straightforward to fit according to both s s and geoff at cycle enterprises once the top end has been pulled off the engine as mine has and is intended as a drop in improvement for lower stock compression stock capacity big twin engines s s quickee pushrod set for use with hydraulic tappet below and 80 98 113 117 124 displacement 1984 99 big twins s s catalog part number 93 5120 and s s high performance hydraulic tappets aka lifters 1984 99 big twins and 1986 90 xl s s catalog part number 33 5352 these high quality steel pushrods are adjustable to work with a variety of different cams and don t require replacement pushrod covers the quickee pushrods can be installed without removing the rocker covers the high performance hydraulic tappets are intended for all harley davidson evolution big twin engines and come as standard fitting on s s s own v series engines they re designed to reduce stress in the motor and ensuring both the top and bottom ends won t get starved of oil so bruce at s s has sent both the pushrods and the lifters to make best use of their 510v cam which itself has been sent to make best use of their new exhaust system the new internals are designed to work together and therefore we re maintaining an integrity throughout the valve train everyone knows what s where hopefully then there shouldn t be any surprises other than happy ones if everything above works out as planned when fitted to my eighteen year old previously close to stock 1340cc evolution then i should expect a significant though possibly not too major performance improvement i m hoping that the upgrades will enhance an engine which still feels recognisably mine but with more mid range power part three with hopefully more power it s a good idea to look at up rating the handling too progressive suspension have just ...
