Trading my harley for this without a motor. 185" FED Looking forward to going really fast.

Transmission is out of a dually and I did install a B&M shift kit which helped shift points and firmness a lot. I did the street/strip version of shift kit, supposed to be harder shifting but the tranny shifts really fast from 1st to 2nd but the 2nd to 3rd shift is at a good rpm and seems fine...

Does anyone know where I can get a stiffer spring or suggestions for my spring behind speedway front end. I just put a big block in my project and now the frame is about an inch above my cross steer linkage. I called speedway and they do not carry any different spring rates. The spring is a...

Looking at possibly going with a mechanical fuel injection set up on my big block but I really don't have any experience with it. I have talked with some guys I know and they said it can be hard to tune for the street. Anyone have any experience or advise on this setup. Also is there really...

Why Men don't write Advice columns!! Dear Walter, I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home...

This is what I have tacked up for now with the pan hard bar. I have it on the back half of the axle angled with the frame mount about the same angle. I will only have about 3.5-4 inches of travel before the panhard bar hits the top of the pumkin. This is my first install of a panhard bar so...

My bike is a 94 softail custom. Pretty much have redone eveything on it. The whole bike is powder coated even the flat black. A local guy did the pinstripping. Kinda ratty with the flat black but everything on this bike is perfect.
