The spray bomb job is good enough in my opinion. I wouldn't waste the money on having a pro re-paint later. Just throw them on and enjoy the bike. Great attention to detail with the build, and you chose nothing but the best for parts.

Congrats on the bike mate, absolute ripper and the parts list is insane. Its probably been covered in a previous vid but would be keen for a rundown on the motor. Im currently trying to decide motor/cam setups.
@EngineersGarage12 жыл бұрын
Thanks brother! I actually looked back last night to see, I don't think I covered the engine. I'll make a video going over all the details I hope. It's a 88ci timken motor bored to 95ci. I had a NOS Harley crank that I welded the pin. All Feuling parts this time: race series cam plate with hydraulic tensioners, race series oil pump, 543 cams, beehive valve springs, pushrods, lifters. Wiseco pistons and 06+ heads I ported, polished and milled on my Bridgeport. Coming in at 11:1 compression.
@jimmyrustles81182 жыл бұрын
@@EngineersGarage1 Very nice man, sounds like it'll be a hot motor. Compression releases? Im aiming for a milder (and super budget setup since I got heaps of stuff dirt cheap) setup, 95in, timken bottom end, SE cast piston 10.25 pistons, fueling OE or S&S cam chest, 06+ heads, SS570 EZ start cams, and around 10.4 static comp. I also had to laugh about that Mikuni chatter in the end. Ive heard blokes swap to S&S carbs because they hate the noise of it. I dont mind it at all and would deal with that noise over an SS carb anyday.
@EngineersGarage12 жыл бұрын
@@jimmyrustles8118 Should be a pretty stout setup, I'll be happy if I hit 100hp. I'm using the stock auto compression releases in the 06+ heads. Also using a 84t ring gear. That should be a ripper for a budget set-up. All good parts to have gotten on the cheap. This is my third mikuni and I'm not sure why this one caught my ear. I guess building from split cases up myself made my ears very sensitive, listening to see if I screwed anything up. Hahaha doesn't bother enough to run anything else, S&S are lawn tractor carbs imo.

Nice bike - weighs about the same as my '06 XL1200R...... what power do you think it'll make ? - it's got to be well over a hundred with all the work you got in it ! My Sporty is hot-rodded to about 95bhp, my twincam is hot-rodded to about 130 ( it's a 113" 2010 model Streetbob), so a bike with the weight of a late Sporty but more power will be fun - my twincam weighs about 100lb more than your FXR/twinkie, but it don't look anywhere near as good ! Oh, and I could hear that carb slide rattle straight off.... still ain't got used to it after 9 years on the Sporty !.... got one on my twinkie as well.
@EngineersGarage12 жыл бұрын
Only goal is 100hp, that's what I'd like to see. I'm sure it can probably do 110 depending on my porting skills. but I'll find out probably spring time. I'm sure that sporty rips, the xl1200r is a killer bike to start. I built a turbo sporty that made 86hp on 5 lbs of boost that was pretty fun, back before I filmed stuff. I think my ears were very sensitive to any new noises as I listened for problems since I build this from the cases up myself, 3rd mikuni I owned but first time I ever noticed the noise.
@thakery57202 жыл бұрын
@@EngineersGarage1 If you rebuilt your engine to an 'as new' condition then you will be listening more for sure, but if you did a good job and the engine itself doesn't have much mechaical noise then you will notice the carb rattle more..... I got quite frustrated with it at first, and don't forget that you don't hear the exhaust noise when you are riding - it's all left in your wake !
