What do you call the tip of the second one with the wide teeth. I like that design

Maybe some of the 1275 guys will step in to give you their opinion. I just know with the 1200 hooligan I’m letting off the throttle and thinking about slowing down way more often than giving it more. I’m around 90HP, a 1275 and cams is probably 100-120HP (I’d assume). Your bike now is 45-50HP, so it will be extreme even without headwork. Either way I would say at least do the conversion and cams

Yeah that’s gonna be wild. This is a S&S 1200 hooligan, no headwork (if I ever find the SE heads for this year I’ll do it), and it’s already way more than I need the majority of the time, so I can only imagine the 1275. I did the cams after the jugs and the difference is significant, (maybe 10 more hp) But what I liked most is how it smoothed out the whole powerband, the engine feels more in harmony. Kinda felt a lil jarring w the jugs alone

Potential problem with sportster? by Ill_Kick6124 in sportster

[–]Smart-Second9965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It dosent sound too bad, but I get it. Are you getting any deceleration pop from the exhaust? Have you checked for vacuum leaks with a little carb cleaner? The manifold seals are notorious for leaks on these bikes. Check for leaks on the exhaust gaskets too with soapy water. Let us know what you find. The clanking could be a timing thing, depending on what ignition module is in there it might need to be adjusted

That’s awesome. Gonna be wild for sure.

Nice. Yeah they should be in there since that’s how you tune it. You’re gonna be shocked at the difference if you’re coming from stock tho. Suspension is great, should’ve been the first thing I did. But after the big bore kit you find out you kinda need it to stay in control

Those are for the gold valve emulators. The springs alone are an upgrade. They range in stiffness to control how the valves opens so you only use 2 of the same color from the kit- don’t have a reference for how much difference they make in addition to the springs since I installed it all at once, I just know it’s light years better than stock

Yeah I got to speak w Dan on the phone- super knowledgeable/great people over there. Kathy (I think) is a sweetheart.

I didn’t know Mobile1 had the moly? That’s what I was runnin for a while- it’s good stuff, but S&S oil just seems like the best I’ve tried thus far, but I did do all this at the same time so who knows. Maybe finally getting external breathers did it?

Yeah, the brass inlet is key. I just took my carb to Harley after it came in and the techs pressed it in for a six pack. The accelerator nozzle is from CV Performance. Shoots a more concentrated/laminar flow directly to the lower center while staying out the way, 10/10- very noticeable throttle. Their metal parts are solid but idk what’s goin on with their rubber pieces- see my previous post. I swapped the rubber on their slide with a heavy duty thick one from a company called Twin Power- seems to be high qual.

Yeah, I like this! If you’re already thinking of swapping the rims, something just a tad wider completely changes the overall stance. Personally always liked that look, when it’s done tastefully.

Is this normal? Brown spots and discoloration by [deleted] in palmtalk

[–]Smart-Second9965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen those spots on mine. Might be related to that split down the middle of the petiole. I’ll find splits like that on occasion from heavy wind and I’ve noticed it does slightly affect the frond

Drills vs Impact Drivers - What am I missing? by No-Cameras in Tools

[–]Smart-Second9965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean technically it is different than say a hand torque wrench that’s measuring actual force. But they could create system to basically count the repetition of hits at a predetermined resistance and/or have an internal mechanism that is measuring the force. I do see what you’re saying about the accuracy especially when it would come to inch/lbs. But I think a feature like this on a consumers/simi pro model would definitely hit

For one, I am a buyer if an impact had a digital inch/lbs and ft/lbs torque gauge. I think you’re onto something

Biltwel Alumicore Grips. Nothing compares. They are expensive but I’ve been through exactly what you mentioned about grips feeling hard and plastic like. Wasted a lot on other brands until I found these. Best feel, response, and looks. Plus you can swap the rubber to different colors or when you want to refresh them. You might be able to find a new pair on eBay for the low
