Bike is makin a noise

But yer a OLD FART:soapbox:

Want to take my OL to the next Demo Days and ride her on it.

But it still gits back to the fact, the only Job I can git up here is at the Prison,
My exsister in law works there. She has told me about how bad it is even with the upper guards.
My wife and family wishes I do not work there. Conditions are pretty bad.
Rubber gloves are not in stock all the time.
Things Guards are suppose to git they don't.
Don't know if I want to give up 2 yrs of my life not gittin to see the OL for it either. I git to see her 2 days a week now.

Isn't that dangerous if if you ride her on it???:roflmao:

I don't know if anybody at Demo Days wants to see that.

Put my OL on back of my bike and do 100mph. She is used to it.
My bike rides like a Lincoln.
My Wide Glide I had was much faster than the bike I have now.
It would do 105 in 3rd gear and hadn't hit the rev limiter.
Could easily do 128 on GPS in 4th gear and not on the rev limiter.
Ran a 1200 Sporty Custom and he was blow away at how fast the wide glide was.


We ran it for nearly 40,000 in about a year and 1/2.

Ain't doing any testin for Spyke anymore.
That starter is being sent back by the shop I bought it from for a Refund.

Got a All Balls Starter now. It even sounds better and quieter.

And when I go to the motorcycle shop Tuesday, the dude is going to dyno it and check the crankin pressure. If needed hes going to take some timin out and or put compression releases in the heads.
Hes gonna let me know what the noise is. Might be the timin in the rear cylinder.

If not I'm gonna see how much motor I can afford.........

I ain't gonna make that determination.
Takin it to a Professional.
He said something about if the timin is too high, on the compression stroke it will make it hard to start. He knows the cams I have in my bike.
He does a lot with Woods cams. He knows all of Bobby Woods parts and he knows the Power Commander too.
He has a complete machine shop, flow bench and dyno.

He told me he had a cam that would make a lot better power than the tw6 too,but you have to have roller rockers

Services

Daytona

I just don't know if I have the enough money.

I'm at Wolfgangs now he said with the setup I have my bike just ain't makin the power it should

Please let us all know what was making the noise when ya find out. The suspense is getting to me!

He spent all day dynoing it and checkin the compression and listenin to it.

He said the motor wasn't makin the HP is should.
Said that he would have to tear into the motor.
I have 43,000 miles on the rod bearings.


Might think about doing the crank and then lookin at the parts in the motor.
might go with a bigger motor if I go that far.

There was more than one noise.
One noise if comin out of the motor somewhere. He would have to tear it down to find it.
If he tears it down. He said he would have to look for it.
And with me having 43,000 on my crank I should drivethe bike and see if it holds up or think about replacing the crank and rebuildin the motor.
Hes been seeing the bearings on the connectin rods on the bottom end going out around 56,000 miles on a bike that has been run hard.....

Got a buddy that has a stock 88cu Road King, his bearings went out on his crank at 56,000 after we went to The Lonestar RAlly.......

Its all about which size motor I want to go with..........

Merry Christmas to me.
