i did and it sounds like masturbation to me. i mean if you are gonna go through all the effort of placing three cams in the block you might as well make it four and put em on top. ever seen that harley engine with desmo heads someone put together a while ago? that shit was hot.

Thats all well and good but show me a frame that bastard fits in.

Yeah but there is a certain thing to work around. Guys want a S&S v-twin to sound like a S&S/HD v-twin! Those pushrods help maintain the sound.

Save your breath, Gas. Some doods is just straight up haters on the pushrods.

[Gas Man]

What they need to understand is all of that goes towards the sound.

sound? i thought you said it was a performance motor heh im just givin you guys shit. still though, as long as it maintained the tazmanian devil firing order it oughta sound exactly the same regardless of where the cams are. actually changing the angle would probably have a higher impact on sound now that im thinking about it

No its a good performence motor that is EPA complient in all 50 states thru like 2015 or some shit. YOu can also get them up to like a 124.

And trust me... the position of the cam, the push rods, the vlv sizes, stroke, all of it... effects the sound. HD and S&S does alot of work to keep the sound just so.

eh, one thing i truely hate is comprimising output for style. my bike in coast lets off a noise that sounds like the wet slap of a pimp's hand across a thousand hoe's faces. its love hate lol

[nhgunnut]

I know the specs on the S&S there is nothing that a pushrod motor is going to do that a OHC of equal displacement and tuning will not do better and more relaibly IMHO.
To be honest if the Money Fairy suddenly dropped by my house their are a couple of tractor powered bike (Confederate Hellcat and Ecosse Titanium)
