[BTraci]

Anything specific you're doing to continue to improve each session?

[hbkeith]

Launch a little harder , was shifting at the shift light ( 7100) , going a little past it now , still not hitting Rev limiter . yesterday was a blast , running beside another Sportster , he had Wheelie Bar a Slick and Air Shift , im foot shirt , no Bar , Street Tire . He jump me half a bike from the line and would catch him at the 60' and we would run side by side all the way then i would pull him half a bike at the finish . think ive made 8 passes on this bike now .Fun Fun !

Kind of an old description of the BFH head work can be found here: http://harleytechtalk.com/htt/index.php/topic,90501.0.html . We were calling it "Sledge +" at the time, because Sledge was our top of the line and we figured out how to improve it, but later a customer suggested the "BFH" name and we liked it.

In short: 2.020 intakes, 1.630 exhausts, which at the overlap we run in the cams requires us to alter the valve angles, spreading the valves farther apart. Which in turn is only possible because of the larger bore the 1275 kit brings to the party. Conical springs, Ti retainers, 7mm stems, our design .600 cams, 1.725 rockers, the combination is tested stable to 8000rpm. We also do some welding on the intake short side to raise it. And we run it through our 5-axis porting machine: http://harleytechtalk.com/htt/index.php/topic,94827.0.html

I checked it out - very cool. I've had an itch to build a 90-100 hp Sportster for the last few years. Gotta find a low miles '03 Anniversary to pimp out.

You talk about scratching an itch we had cycle and 4 wheeler races on the lake here last weekend and there was guy there riding a 1200 sportster. They can go faster around the corners on ice with studded tires than they can on a dirt track. Came out of turn four on the back wheel.

Oh yes, if you've not seen ice racing, it is a shock at how fast they can rip. No sliding through the corners, just stick and go.
