    Thanks to both you and Ray for posting your experienced info.

    So is there a top end limit with displacement for a common street pipe like the V&H? Seems to do OK with the 1170 and probably even the 1230.

    For a street motor with head mods and proper carbs, would either of you recommend using the V&H street pipe for a 1260/1327 street motor?

    I get the impression that the V&H pipe is used on 1260 and up engines not because it has adequate flow but because its cheap and commonly available.

    Thoughts/comments?

        Bike ran strong. But the engine is sounding like a sewing machine! Didn't mess with cam degreeing yet, set valves at .08" lash. Not sure what is going on. Tried re adjusting cam chain tensioner but to no avail. Cams looked good. Just getting loud tapping from top end. Should i set the valves tighter?

            5 ish ain't bad.
            8 is on the edge of being noisey IMO.

                Valve clearance should be .005 INCH.

                        Set the valves at 5 thousandths. Ticking still there. The whole top end is a rattling orchestra. Doesn't idle what so ever, but runs very strong at 2000+ RPM, absolutely screams. Does it sound like i may be off a tooth on cam timing?

                                    You tell us it doesn't idle good but screams above, and I'm thinking '69 302 Z28.

                                    Seems very worthy of pics and sound video.

                                                    Bike went down friday night.

                                                    Anyone want parts?

                                                    I cant afford to rebuild right now. Frame is bent badly. Engine still turns over.
