The cylinders arrived from Millenium. They sure look like they do nice work. The cylinders were taken out to 4.275 which will net me a 1250 CC displacement.   | ||

Gaskets.... The complete gasket kit is a Buell part number that I picked up from ST. Paul HD. The head gaskets are from Cometic. As you can see they are copper. I ordered two different sizes as I wasn't exactly sure what I will need. Since there is very little gasket surface from the cylinder to the cam chain chest I'm going to O-ring the heads to help insure the seal. Originally I was going to O-ring the cylinder however that would be cutting into an already thin wall. So the heads make more sense (my first drag car motor was done this way).      | ||

Tools..... I ordered the two 1125 specific tools listed on the Erik Buell Racing web site. One is a cam locking tool and the other is a crank locking tool. I also found a piston pin clip tool specific for the 1125 motor.    | ||

Group pic!  Since the pic the piston pin clip tool arrived as well as the Barnett heavier clutch springs. | ||

What's the deal? No dyno run yet?! | ||
| Puzzled |
I tried running on the dyno, I kept dropping the parts trying to spin the drum! I think I need different sneakers........ | ||
| Budgolf |
Haha. Good luck with the build. I wonder if you've got the first 8 second Buell there. | ||
| Puzzled |
Thank you. I think Mike1125 has the first 8 second pass and to boot on a stock motor. Combined with Michael from Erik Buell Racing, his jockey and his determination.. he has it. I'm real tall and heavy in comparison. I'll need the extra power to pull my size. | ||

Revolution has the Ti valves (42mm from 41.3mm Int & 35.4 from 35mm Exh), Beryllium Copper seats and Bronze guides in their hands so they can get the heads done. I spoke with the machine shop balancing the rotating assembly and I "should" be able to pick it up on my way by their place tomorrow. The reciprocating weight will be 55% of the 100% rotating weight. My exhaust has been ordered and should be in soon (coming from the UK.). | ||

The pipe I have ordered. It is a Erik Buell Racing Sidewinder full drag pipe with large diameter headers.    | ||
| Littlebutquick |

That looks familiar lol | ||

That looks familiar lol Notice I was cautious to not post pics of the entire bike.  Plus I waited until after you and Joe posted pics.......} | ||

Mike, did you ever hear anything about your cams? | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
Curious - how much is that pipe? Loving this thread, good to see someone doing a serious build with this motor | ||
| Puzzled |
Mike, did you ever hear anything about your cams? I have the cams here but have not called to find out what he ground them to. There are a few numbers on the ends of the cams. I'll try to call tomorrow.} | ||

Curious - how much is that pipe? Loving this thread, good to see someone doing a serious build with this motor I was told the pipe and headers are $1400.00 Mike 1125R, Michael from Erik Buell Racing, Dan from Crower, Millenium, Revolution, Terry from CP and Bob from "The machine shop" have all contributed}. | ||

Look at the crap inside of the cases!    | ||
| Puzzled |
With everything I found in the motor nothing made its way though the bearings.  The trans looks pretty robust.  | ||
| Puzzled |
I cleaned the cases with soap and water as well as a little bit of carb/brake clean.   | ||
| Puzzled |
So I get the cases cleaned and they are in front of the heater drying. I go to pick them up to run some air pressure over them and on the floor is a spring. Uh oh where did it come from? I spent and hour and a half trying to find where this spring came from. I did not want to proceed without knowing this as I didn't easily spot it in the manual or parts breakdown. Cleaning the cases must have removed the oil film holding the spring in and allowed it to drop out on the floor.  | ||

Rotating assembly! According to the shop that balanced the parts they said even with the new pistons and rods I could have run it "as is" as they were that close.  The rod bolts get torqued than turned 70*. So I marked my socket to show when I was at the required degree.   There are a couple of press in plugs in the stock crank that E B R suggested be pulled out and pipe plugs be installed. After the plugs came out there was some crap in the passages.   | ||
| Puzzled |
The crank installation is straight forward. Pay attention to crank orientation and which holes you have the rods in. While connecting the two case halves you have a few ends from the trans that have to get guided through some holes. A few taps from my hand and they fit right together. I ran the eight gazillion case bolts in with my 18 volt Dewalt and than torqued them from there.      | ||
| Puzzled |
I probably installed every gear at least 3 times before I got all of the parts in the right places as well as what sequance they go in.    | ||
| Puzzled |
The crank locking tool from earlier, a definitely must have tool.  | ||

Thanks for the tour! nice! | ||

Puzzled: looking good! Do you have a contact for those rods? thanks | ||

Puzzled: looking good! Do you have a contact for those rods? thanks Sure do, Terry Stewart Carillo-CP Pistons/Shaker Products. 714-398-7952 moversandshakers@cs.com I ordered +2MM rods (Same as the 1190). I belive the Glendale HD bike used stock length Carillo rods.} |
