FXR 124" twin cam

[nosjunkie]

Starting with this... Found it under a persons deck being neglected... Motor may have been hurt.. it turned over.. With a breaker bar.. NOT easily.. Starter assembly was toast... Primary cover was off... I had been working on the Road Glide.. but now im distracted with this...

Great project.     

[nosjunkie]

I got advise from one of the veteran people doing these as to the correct plan to do this without cutting the stock frame... I sourced this clean outer primary and a STD Inner.... Going to fill them with a solid front sprocket. Barnett Hyd clutch. Evo Ind Basket. Baker shoe... HD chain...


Thx Ed.......

Brown truck has been coming a lot lately... Trans and case halves sourced from flea bay..  Its amazing what 34 years have done on the kick stand location bracket.. Ill tig this up and grind it back to shape..

Some more mock up.. Have a tight spot near one motor to trans bolt.. But Ill clearance the part on the mill and use a button head bolt at that spot.

I see you have a 1955 Chevy project car in the background. I had a 55 about 100 years ago when I was a mechanic in a chevy dealership.  I put a 482 cu.in. stroker rat motor in it and beat the hell out of it LOL.

What is your planned solution to the oil pan/crossmember issue?

Front end is going to use Sport bike forks and tubes, brakes and front wheel. Using Brocks trees with 3" extensions... Leaves it with 4.5" of trail. I found a different source for bolts with great prices.. I usually buy a complete set as Im to lazy to figure out all the needed sizes. I broke the forks down and had them stripped and the trees anodized black..

I calculated the area lost and made a decent attempt to get it all back with what I added.. Now I wish I would have added another .250 to the depth.. just cuz..I still need to add the drain plug.. baffles.. build the line for the pick up... ect...

Thats a 55 Nomad that I put a C4 Corvette suspension under.. 450HP LS.. 4L80E.. SS Exhaust though the frame.. the goodies... Im distracted with this FXR right now.. Ive wanted one for a very long time....

[nosjunkie]

Heads came.. I found these off flea bay.. $400 bucks.... Ill get to porting these and raising the exhaust to help the short radius a bit... might flow them for giggles..  The clutch was a great deal at $250 of the same flea place..

That front wheel is only being used for mock up.. or temporarily if I run low on funds.. It will be replaced with a lighter version.

[nosjunkie]

Rear Swing Arm with spherical bearings... Using a 07 and up rear OEM caliper... Still need to decide on the rear wheel... until funds allow for lighter version..

Your execution of the oil pan is fantastic. FWIW, I have three FXRs with 124" engines (2x TC and 1x Evo). Two of them have inverted forks (extended 3"). Could not be happier with them. I suspect yours will turn out very nice as well. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Nice project

[Will-Run]

I envy your ability and talent. Thanks for sharing , and making me drool.

Fantastic craftsmanship, I can't wait to see the finished product.   Some picks of the 55/C4 would be fun to look at. 

[Mick93]

this bike will be a weapon..... and fun to ride when its done

Here are some more of the pan.. I bolted it back to the trans to pressure check it. I made a plate to block of the filler spout location and plugged the holes. then cut it flat and had it powder coated.  [attach=0]  [attach=1]  [attach=2]  [attach=3]

The repair to the kickstand bracket... Welded up and ground to shape.
The pivot pin was worn so I made a new one from a recycled starter bolt.
