Great to hear Andrews is still bumpin.
Loved the EV-27 in my '94 FLSTC.

 

2024 FXLRST 117”, stock heads with high lift springs, Reaper 538, 64mm TB and manifold, 5.5 injectors, wedge air cleaner and Sawicki 2-1

@DannyDaPorkchop Here ya go bud

 

Just a mere 15/9 to go to reach the 150/150 mark 😁 Maybe decking the heads?

 

This is a customer’s and he’s not wanting to do that. Right now. Lol.

 

2022 Cop Road King 114”, S&S475, 64mm TB and manifold, 5.5 injectors, stock AC and long Bassani

So when you pull the heads to replace the springs are you just replacing the head gaskets and reassembling without replacing the base gaskets? Reason I ask is I've heard some people have issues with the base gaskets weeping if not replaced at the same time. Also do you use brand new head bolts? I'm considering pulling my heads to change the head gasket from the .080 to a cometic .030 to bump up the compression a tad for the cam I'm wanting to run. BTW, it's a 24 FLTRX.

 

Ok, one more question if you don't mind. If I were to pull the heads and cylinders to change out the gaskets would I install the cylinders dry? I've only ever put motors together with fresh cylinders and pistons and always used an ever so light film of oil on the cylinder walls. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

 

Not a stupid question. I always use assembly lube when putting cylinders on pistons, whether the cylinder and pistons are new or used. Dry surfaces and friction of metal or metal is your enemy in that situation.

 

In the dyno most of the morning doing some learning. This is the first center cooled bike I’ve tuned with the new TTS tuner. It’s a stock 23.5 CVORG 121 VVT with a P&A air cleaner and a KW 2-1. With the street tuner, it made 119hp / 138 tq. So I gained a decent amount of hp and lost a small amount of tq.

 

Nice flat lines. Waiting for TTS to ship me the 195 cam

 

Customer’s 2015 RG with a SE 120ST. I made NO physical changes, just retuned it. Customer should be happy with the gains.

 

Customer’s 2015 Dyna 103”. He put a Wood 408-44 cam set in and a short V&H 2-1

 

Nice to see another Twinkie. I’ll take my Wood 222’s, V&H ProPipe and AC, and the 97/118 numbers you got out of it…. 😃

 

2015 CVO RG now 117”

Blue was 117”, stock heads, stock TB, 5.7 injectors, stock AC, V&H power duals with 4.5” monster rounds

Red had added ported heads, modified Ness AC and ported TB

 

When you remove the heads, do you stick with oem thickness? See much difference with a Cometic .030" to bump compression up about .5 in the ratio? I'm thinking that would be faster/ cheaper than decking the heads and you can always go back to original.

 

We didn’t deck these heads, we had them ported and put some bigger valves in. But yes, we have changed to thinner gaskets before to bump compression up. We’re big fans of Cometic gaskets over the OEM laminated mesh things.

 

Fixed a customer’s poor tune from 2 years ago that someone else did. 114”, diesel air cleaner, power duals headpipe and KW mufflers with their louvered baffles. Picked up 7hp and 4tq and the bike is a lot more healthy.

 

2021 RGS 131”, stock heads with high lift springs, Reaper 521, 55mm TB and manifold, Ness AC, S&S short competition 2-1

Just finished this one up. Was a 114” with a 475 cam, same air cleaner and a long S&S 2-1. Gained 16hp and 24tq from what he had.

 

^ I want. Geez us - that would be fun to hammer on

 

Customer’s 2015 CVO Street Glide 110”. They had a Woods TW7H cam set installed somewhere else, I just tuned it.
Pretty happy with the results. Customer should be too.

Identical numbers to my 110" Twinkie.

 

Customer’s 2021 RGS 114

Red is Harley torque cam, Trask AC, Jackpot 2-1-2 headpipe and TAB mufflers with quiet baffles and SE street tuner

Blue is Trask AC, Andrews 485, KW outlaw 2-2 headpipe and TAB mufflers with louvered baffles and dyno tune.

Final look with AFRs

 

Pay once, cry once. Should've skipped the SE cam and went straight to the Andrews, no comparison.

 

I agree but you can’t always convince customers. Lol

 

23.5 CVO 121”, VVT deleted, Reaper 538 cam, 6.8 injectors, wedge AC, KW 2-1 and Impact ECM

 

Damn, that’s nice……. So I take it deleting the VVT operation is the key to more performance with the new motor…..?

 

Dang! Putting down 140 ft lbs before it hit 3 grand. Impressive.

 

2024 RG117”, SE511 cam, P&A AC, KW 2-2 with their mufflers and standard baffles. TTS tuned

 

I have a S&S 128 with 1st gen SE CNC heads with S&S540 cam. I like the cam, but want torque to peak a little higher. Really like the Andrews 554, but my springs are limited to .540 lift. Have you ever Dyno'd a Tman 2652 cam? Almost identical specs as 554, except lift in the .520's. Wondering if it performs similar to the 554, as most people describe it as a low-mid cam, but the 554 seems to keep pulling up top.

 

I have not used any TMan cams but have used their products before and haven’t ever been disappointed. I don’t see why your CNC head springs wouldn’t handle the Andrews 554 cam lift. I put SE high lift springs in my stock heads on my 117” and an Andrews 554 and haven’t had any issues or binding.

 

Customer’s from today. 2019 FXBB 107”, Woods 22XD, Ness air cleaner, short TBR 2-1, stock manifold, TB and injectors.

 

Before and after.

Both have stock manifold, throttlebody and injectors.

Was a 114 with high flow air cleaner and a long 2-1

Now a 122” with an Andrews 554 and the same air cleaner and exhaust.

 

Another one from today. Customer bought used 2018 RK 107. Wanted a cam, exhaust and tune. 107”, stock manifold, throttlebody and injectors, Andrews 465 cam, P&A air cleaner, Khromewerks stealth headpipe and the Rineharts that were on it.

 

2023 CVORGST 135” kit with no changes, P&A heavy breather, Thunderheader and Impact ECM.

 

What's your potential thoughts on that Andrews 554 cam going into a 10.75 128" with stock heads?

 

I put the 554 in a 131” with high compression pistons and made almost 160 squared. I’m still running stock heads on my 117” with the 554 and making 139/137. Trying to decide if I go with 11:1 pistons or try ported heads with +2 valves. Really trying to hit 150/150 and still be 117”. Lol
