July 7, 200521 yr POSER!!!...and yep, I'm only jealous ...you're bike(s) always look in better nik than mine
July 8, 200521 yr 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.

I've just plugged it and it's even better and more powerful when needed. Great bike in deed !
July 10, 200521 yr Just for fun... Heres the power train for a '38 Indian that I'm building. It weighs more than my whole Sherco!
July 12, 200521 yr 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.
July 12, 200521 yr if anybody's interested.Smaller pictures, that is. Yes like to see them Charlie Vinnie
July 13, 200521 yr Aaahhhh. You flatter me. It takes 2 men and a boy to get that sucker in the frame. Tight fit! Just did it tonight.
July 14, 200521 yr In an effort to not hijack the thread, anybody interested in updates on my '38 Indian project, I've put some pics in the "Anything" section.
