    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Loose the bags and the seat, throw some paint at it and you'll have a good looking bike. Something about seeing an "L" with the square cam caps makes me smile! :D

AHHHHH yet another Love Story between a man and his L...it warms my heart! :p :D

Looks Great Bill............Now let me ask you; do you pull the broken motor with one hand while installing the new motor with the other or does it take 2 hands??

It would take me 2 days to rig up a chain hoist. Next time I'll just send you bus fare;)
 
Where's the pic of the ugly bike you were referring to? All I saw was a black bike that was one set of buckhorns short of perfection. The only way to make it prettier would be for Mona Lisa to be riding it.

I figured if Bill is riding it in the "winter" months, he might like the added comfort of a screen. :p

Yeah, "winter" in Bakersfield.

When it finally drops below 90 degrees and everyone breaks out the down parkas.

Checked the plugs on the new to me black motor and I felt I'm a little lean. I may be a bit sensitive to this but I raised the needle 1/2 notch to the third from the bottom, raised the main jet from 135 to 137.5 and took out the idle mixture screws from 2.5 to 3 turns out. I also run a 47.5 pilot jet one over stock from 45.
Do these number seem high for a stock 83 1100 motor with a Vance and Kerker 4-1 (V&H baffle) and K&N pods? When I had just a pod and a pipe on my stock 80 motor I ran a 138 Dyna main (127.5-130 Mikuni) and the needle at around the same spot.
I think I either have aftermarket cams or a big block. The cams had the same numbers on them as stock cams but doesn't Web Cam regrind stock cams? The cams also had slotted cam sprockets so they were degreed at one time.
This motor runs really strong with great bottom and top end. Does 120 with ease and has more. I don't want to tear down to see what's in it but man am I curious.

You can remove a spark plug and put a pencil into the intake and see how far the pieces get spit out of the exhaust. I have a calibrated ruler for your V&H which reads out compression ratio ^o.

To get the bore, you have to put a balloon onto the intake side and compare the diameter to the size of a balloon attached to the exhaust. Obviously you also have to push air into the intake balloon with a compressor.

Works a charm ; Blah B;ah B;ah :-k


Pos :cool:

P.S. advance Kills
 
Hey Bill, I'll bet you lunch that Webcam marks the cams in some way when they regrind them; no marks means no regrind. Time to get out your magnifying glass.

Enjoy your new hotrod.:)

First, lets get something clear sir... That black motor (in stock form vs stock form) will dust your silver motor. Secondly, your jetting set up sounds like what im running, but im running 34s not 36s.. The 83 (black motor) had the hottest stock cams of any of the 1100 motors, with a roughly 298? grind i think it was. The 1150 is about a 315. To me, they just feel quite a bit punchier up top compared to the earlier bikes. But your old motor was all hopped up so i dunno. Could be a gearing difference too?
 
Web stamps their cam grind #s on the flat area that the cam sprockets cover (not on the flange but the SHOULDER of the cams) & you can't tell what they are without removing the sprockets or installing a degree wheel & dial indicator to measure lift & duration. Ray.
