my Harley dyna motor build.... GO FAST!!!!

first off, HUGE thanks to Chad for helping me with my build, with the 2 of us we got the whole motor out and the cases split in a afternoon! was awesome!!!
I am doing the full motor, welding and true the crank, pistons, bore, cams, heads, adj pushrods, timkin bearing, the whole shabang... doing a 95, he is doing a 107 (as you can see his motor is out as well in the back round of the pics) I am stoked as hell to get this sucker done, dyno'd and ripping!
but here are some pics of how we spent our saturday! shooting for 100 Hp and 100 ft lbs
will be a great summer!

tanks off


rockers off and outer primary




removal of the heads




jugs and primary removed


cams out!


motors out!




so the bike can be moved around we fabbed up a support plate




Next up cracked the cases




and here they sit waiting for their hearts to go back in

Awesome!

curious...what kind of coating is on the motor? is that a factory coating or did you do that yourself? I'm looking for a textured black engine coating.

that is a factory coating, but we have the match for that and the wrinkle in the shop, i am actually recoating some of the parts cause the factory did a crap job! ha ha ha

i guess a bit of details on the build helps!

i am doing a 95 kit, it will have andrews 37 cams, flat top pistons, (the jugs i got from a buddy but they are bored over already to a 95 and have been re honed), i will use screaming eagle adjustable pushrods, the heads will be ported 1.9 int 1.625 ex with compression releases and brass valve guides (prob more as well), the crank only needs to be welded as we checked the run out and it was spot on, so it will not need to be trued, this will handle the added power, i am also doing a Timken bearing in the bottom end to handle the extra meat, SE non roller 1.725 rockers will bring my lift to .541 with the 37 cams.
I have already installed an anderson power pulley, a baker inner primary bearing, and a barnett race clutch, i have a stage 1 ac (k/N), and a screaming eagle race tuner... the trans with the IPB and the power pulley will be fine and give me one hell of a off the line jump!

my buddy whose silver and black glide you see in the back round is going from this same 95 build to a 107 with a 4.125" bore x 4" stroke, it is going to be a beast!

to keep my tire behind me i am upgrading to custom made poly engine mounts as well as a true track motor stabilizer. she will rip!

i am waiting on the crank and bearing to be done and the heads, the guy that is doing them is the best in the biz so he is a bit slammed, looking at around 1 - 2 weeks before i can get it back together and dyno tune it all.

tappered SE adjustable push rods came in today. made my tuner appointment... ordered the last of the gaskets... now the waiting game! putting together my buddies 107 build this sunday.... should be a screamer!!!!

Joe,

You are going to F'n love the extra power.... I know I do... ;D

figured what the hell, may as well go all in on the build right... so stripped it all down and went to work! Thanks to Chad he gave me the great idea of mixing my tins paint match, black cherry, and the gloss black.

the whole motor and all the cases are getting powdered. (trans cover, inner primary, primary, rocker boxes both of them, master cyl, and clutch perch) but that is more to come!

here are some pics

so stripped it all down


blasted it all and coated the first round of parts...


then put on the 120 front and the 170 rear brand new Metzlers!




all of it together


then went into the second round of powder


rebuilt my front forks and new fork boots all fresh powder (ran 15w wiht the progressive spring kit)


front end on


picture of the monster 120 front tire


next i worked on the new tail light. Marked out the holes


all drilled out


mocked up for how it will sit


pulled apart the tail light for powder work and while i had it out, drilled 2 holes in the base board to add turn signals into the brake light


MORE TO COME!!!!

Holy shit Joe, and you have a full time job that isn't building bikes. Wish i could say WTF, lets tear the bike to the frame and powder/mod/improve the whole shebang! Nice work, I really hope I get to go to Troys in July so I can see this up close.

Keep it up.

Maritime

this one will def be there!

8)Nice work! Can't wait to see it on the ground..

Well, fri is the big day to get the heart back on the beast... so i took late last night to finish up the new brake/tail/turn

i wired in small LEDS into this to act as turn sigs... came out awesome...took forever, but looks clean as hell... and best off, can not buy this sucker off the shelve!

Nice joe. It would be cool to see a vid of it flashing once you get it back on the bike. Then of the brak stand and smoke of the new more powerful engine ;D After proper break in of course.

will do will do!

crap pic i know... but this is the last of 5 loads! Tomorrow is assembly... new oil pressure sensor is on the way and stearing damper as well!

Those rims look rad with the red stripe

well after 2 18 hour days... Chad and i where able to get the motor back in there! bike is starting to look like a bike again! my camera died so i will post pics of the assembly process later, but here are the ones that i was able to get snapped off the SD card.
Got the tail light done, and have to say I LOVE IT!!! all the work that it took to make this thing work and look right was well worth it! looks awesome and is super bright! the built in turn sigs will be wired in later after i get it back from the tuner. but the heads look awesome! compresson releases are great, the hogged out exhaust is going to let this sucker get some air out!!! very stoked! and as i am sure yo can see. lots and lots of new powder work was done, i was in the powder shop till kingdom come to get this sucker ready for re assembly... Tonight the tank goes back on, the pipes go back on, and we can fire her up! then off to the tuner Tues!!!!

here are some pics

also we had a show on Sat morming... SUCKED wiht how cold it was!!! but we got some awesome response and a ton of our customers showed up to support us... very cool

she is back together... not bad... under 6 weeks for a ground up harley build... sucks because 5 weeks the bike was just sitting therre waiting on the motor work to be done... but now she is done! It is mind blowing how much faster a build goes when you have 2 people twisting wreches on it, thank you so much Chad!

sorry about the crap pics but it was late!







even hooked back up some of the LEDS






Still have some odds and ends to tie up, front fender, some more LEDs need wired, fog light, new bars, HID headlight install, front stearing damper install.. yadda yadda yadda... but all that can wait till she comes back from the tuner! SUPER stoked up for this one

I'm loving the black. That was a lot of work. Probably my favorite part are the fins on the motor and the tail light work. She looks insane. I'd love to see some hand painted lettering on the fender though.
Inspiring work bud

sad part is... i am only going to use that fender for a very short time... i custom made a new fender, took 2 st bob fenders welded them together, so i have a flush rear fender, that is 4.5 inches longer than stock. it is getting powdered to match the tins, then my buddy in KC is doing a pin up girl of my wife laying on her back wiht her legs going up the fender, in the back round of her there will be 2 big dice, those are getting glassed to become my tail lights/turn sigs, will all be flush and part of the paint work. but that is a while down the road, end of summer likely. here is a shot of the fender though
it just has primer on it to keep from rusting before we coat it

how about some shots of the motor assembly

block was sealed for me and the new bearing installed. so we tossed the pistons in and the jugs on


in the bike


heads on


lower rockers on
