10.5 to 1, if I were going to daily it, I'd put the 29mm smoothbores on it. I forgot, it's got the crank welded too. I originally had a 1250 cylinder and pistons for it, but decided I would be more competitive in the 1000cc class.

Just curious on preferring the smoothbores over the CRs for the street?
Something about the CRs working more efficiently at wide open throttle?

The smoothbore carbs seem to be more rideable in traffic.I can also use the airbox and filter. With the Crs, the bottom end seemed soggy. The Crs were supposed to go on a 1250cc motor, but we decided to run in the 1000cc class.Last edited by 1000-M-CF; 03-27-2025, 10:35 PM.Comment

Sorry I dropped out for a bit. I took a tumble from the top of a ladder. I'll recover fine, it just messed up my routine. The math worked out to be 11 to 1 cr. I did run it around town a few times but it was miserable.Comment

I hope you got recovered from the fall, plans on hold or still wanting to get out there ?Comment

I rode my Intruder out to Bonneville this year to help a fellow racer. The trip was just shy of 5000 miles, with a side trip to Casper, Wyoming, to visit my son. I was gone a month and aside from the boys apartment, I camped in a one man tent. Im already working on the bike for 2026. The motor will probably stay the same, except maybe a camshaft change. It has the old Andrew's S-2 grind. I figure there's better.Comment
