What we been doin? seems a long time since the last post.....

Well, as we appear to have become the Norths leading supplier of Big bore piston kits for Harleys, we have been branching out into the next stage, the 110, or 113 kit.  Yup, 1800cc or more of fun.
Lets face it, we have done so many 1690 kits, people are gonna start asking for more pretty soon(we already have an eager customer for our 120 cube motor!)
So, the next step is the 110, or 113 cube family.
Bit more work this time, you need to drop the motor, strip out the crank, and with our new specialist kit, open out the crankcase mouths for the mahooosive barrels and pistons to drop into.
Once machined out with surgical precision, the motor is built back up by our piston wrangling gurus, and the bike finished off.  A few miles(read lots) of bedding in, and the motor is ready to be opened up.

Well

Ive been lucky enough to break it in, and the torque is awesome.  Instant drive, and lots of it.
Next week we will be looking at the de-catted manifold(fancy one of those anyone?) to squeeze the last few Lb/ft out of it.




OK, it aint gonna be cheap, but if your mate has just bought a big bore, mebbe its time to crank it up to the next level?? Bit like Marshall amps, turn it up to ELEVEN!
