Looks nice/ clean from here.

That front tire looks big for a Sportster, is that just the camera view or is it an oversize tire? Still looks nice, just wounder about the tire size.

It's a standard 2012 SuperLow wheel with a stock size 120/70ZR18 Shinko tire.

It must have been the camera angle. ( or my eyes )

Nice bike

Wow! I don't ride a motor cycle, but that looks like one clean engine and bike. Makes me feel bad to open my hood. I'll be in Wilmington in 2 weeks hope to raise my speed to 150 now that I have 4th gear. Good luck to all.

I was able to replace the oil pump drive gear with a bronze version without completely removing the pump body...



#2 and #3 cam lobes however will require chamfering due to interference with the pictured race...grinding time.

With that tall of a cam, make sure you check the lifters to make sure they travel properly. The old style would have to be clearanced for the lift.

So far the only other area I see that needs attention are the lifter bosses...just a little die grindage involved.

Wasnt going to pull the lifter blocks initially, but that is out the door now. I'll have to carefully block off passages and do some meticulous cleaning after the chips fly lol.

zippers makes a real nice cam clearance tool, makes short work of the job, and it makes them all the same.
