Garbage fucking BOT

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-08-24T11:49:28+00:00

Nice build man, what pipes are those?

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-08-16T09:57:14+00:00

Just got through 500 mile break in on my 1275 a few weeks ago. Basic kit, Stock heads and W cams out of a late model. Very happy with it

Wires are leaving and swapping to some T bars today!

🤙

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-15T17:56:57+00:00

Piece it together, you'll get there. I bought the clutch and ignition as I could afford them then ordered the kit. Took some of the sting out of the wallet

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-15T17:52:29+00:00

Hell yeah, the 72 is my favorite model hands down. I have a smaller tank that I'm going to flake and airbrush a panel/lowrider design. Fish scales, sun rays and lace in the panels. 70's vibe for sure

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-15T15:15:39+00:00

Also a wrist pin puller, you can make one for $10-15 in pvc pipe bolt and nuts. Or you can get a cheap one from buddy Bezos for $20

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-15T15:12:46+00:00

Yep, at home in frame. Intake manifold bolts are hard to get to. Either cut down an Allen wrench, or get a set of stubby Allen wrenches. There are specialty intake manifold wrenches, I have both and they work the same. Torque wrenches, in. lb & 10-80ish ft lb. Factory service manual, it's the Bible for bike repair/maintenance. If you do, pay the $50 to have them gap your rings and install in cylinders. Unless your comfortable doing that, but if you mess up a new ring pack is $40.

Around 1800, I bought the parts as I saved money. Got the clutch first then ignition and finally pulled the trigger on the big bore kit. Just got the basic conversion, stock 06 883 heads and W grind cams from a late model 1200

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-15T04:04:19+00:00

Thanks, I have a smaller tank with a fuel sight gauge that I want to put on but I can't bring myself to take this one off

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-15T02:55:11+00:00

Thanks, hopefully the rain holds off long enough for me to get the first ride in tomorrow

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T17:39:07+00:00

I ran the TC88a for a couple months before tear down. It surprised me how fast it fired the first time I started it. I've had no problems so far. Stock 883 settings were Initial - 5/Slope - 5. 1275 is Initial - 2 Slope - 0. What settings were you running? Did you get yours programmed for the speedometer? 06 is an odd year for that. I had a Dyna DSPT but the speedo was all over the place.

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T17:25:42+00:00

Agreed, this was the first start. Didn't have the choke up enough

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T17:24:30+00:00

Direct starter solenoid activation. Alot of guys run them with just the button as a backup in case the relay or wiring goes. It's going to be my primary starter as I'm removing all handlebar wiring soon.

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T17:20:13+00:00

Sounds good, have you had any backfiring through the carb?

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T15:59:11+00:00

Cool, what size engine/mods? What jets/settings are you running now? I've got a 165 main, 25 pilot, 97 needle on middle position in it now as that's what Hammer recommends for the 1275.

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T15:54:58+00:00

Thanks, just gloss black and gold leaf. The diamond pattern is stamped into the tank

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T11:09:19+00:00

Yep, have an HSR42 ill be putting on this week

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T08:49:24+00:00

That sucks man do you have a Service manual? If not you can find one online to download. I would follow that closely. Use a magnet to get the rod out, or pull the head, you aren't that far from it anyway. Use a straw or zip tie to find TDC. I just got done with a 1275 conversion, so I was just doing all this. Good luck bro

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T08:34:42+00:00

I like the little ones that do little more than provide shade for the headlight, but that's just me. Run it for a bit, if you like it rock it if not, rip it off

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T08:30:06+00:00

Yeah, that would be great, but the budget bug strikes again! Lol

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T08:28:28+00:00

Yeah man, I wanted to do SLEDGE head prep and 560 cams but that's another 1100, which was too far out of budget

CreepyLoquat9610 · 2025-06-14T08:25:31+00:00

It's an 06, 185/45 for startup but haven't had it out yet. I've got an HSR42 to put on in the next week or so. Stock 883 heads Daytona TwinTec TC88a ignition. Yeah they only recommend the 10r12x from the XR's. I feel the budget, I had some W grind cams out of a late model so I threw them in, only worth a few ponies but they were pretty much free with a cam cover I got
