Hey Johnny. First and least important, l hope you read my post as it was written in that I was talking about the grammar on some of the chopper sites. Also, I was not implying anything about the intelligence or skills of Bike-Talk members, but more my perceived predisposition toward the 'leave it stock' attitude.
My question is around your comment about going with a belt or open primary. I'm a fan of a dry primary myself and was wondering if you had done any research on that. I know it's been done on unit construction motors, but I don't know what the best way is to do it. I assume they still share juice with the trans, but maybe I'm wrong about that. If so, is there an aftermarket door or will you modify the stock part? The belt drive and a six speed are at the top of my cool mods list for my Sportster. Though the gear set would be way hard to justify price wise as I don't ride it far or often enough. k

Here's a link shows a step by step on going open belt on a sporty...

Yeah you tell him FLHTBiker!
Maybe KDiddely will make like the bunny and hop away from this site. His **** buddies are prolly missing him by now.
JohnnyBiker, do you have a link we can check into about the water injection? All of your talk is begginning to interest me. Where can we find more info??
Thanks JB.

TommyC, check out post number 47 on page three, there are some links that I posted there.

Thanks JB!

KDiddy, Yeah I knew what it was that you meant, but there are some members here that may not have. Just remember that these guys like to play around and they are just having fun. One of the prerequisites for membership is knowing how to take and dish out shiit. You mentioned the "leave it stock" attitude, I completely understand what they are saying by this and I agree with most of it, but I will end up doing what it is that I want anyway. Just because they give opinions or advice does not mean that I have to take it, however, I appreciate them for taking the time to not only hack on me, but also to offer their valuable experience and opinions. I am pretty confident that they really do not care what I do to MY bike, it's all in good fun.

I have looked at a couple of chopper sites and for some reason they didn't impress me all that much. Not sure why. As far as the open primary goes I have looked into the same one that Lucifer posted a link to (Evolution Industries) but as far as pricing goes only. I have not looked into the specifics of the parts yet as I am a little ways off from starting this project. I need to find another bike before I will do this which may be a while. BTW, open primaries are a staple of custom bikes if that is what you meant by "you've seen it done on unit construction motors."

I'm not going to go that extreme though. As far as engine mods goes I am done with them. Anything I do to my bike from now on is either going to be the conversion and change it's appearance, and the water injection which is not as crude as nitro.
