jtt Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Some friends of mine have tried to plug two wires which come out of the CDI (one orange and one black). They say it's more powerful. Doi you knowanything about this trick ??? Celine, I am told on the 2005 models that the CDI actually has 2 ignition curves onboard. By changing the configuration of this wire your speaking of, you get the more aggressive curve, or the milder one. Some have actually wired these to a switch so they can easy change back and forth depending on conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Just for fun... Heres the power train for a '38 Indian that I'm building. It weighs more than my whole Sherco! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtt Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 VERY cool Charlie! Is the valve gear exposed on this one or is there a cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 The rockers get finned aluminum covers. The weird thing is, if you notice, you can only see one valve per cylinder. The exhaust valve in the cylinder is next to the bore, so it's half a flathead, or IOE, meaning intake over exhaust. The lower end has all babbitt bearings. Molten bearing material is poured into shells and machined to size. I'll post some pictures as it progresses, if anybody's interested. Smaller pictures, that is.
