Dave It seems to start easier but with the 88" installed at the same time I have nothing to compare it to. With that said just the linear operation of the HSR makes it work for me. Now I need a throttle with about 15% less throw and I will be set. Are you running the stock 27/61 if so check out a 26 tooth lightened sprocket. I think it will get you what you are looking for. Joe | ||

was the 88" good bang for the buck?? | ||
| Koz5150 |
Do they offer different sized sprockets for inside the Primary cover? I thought that was just one standard size? If there is a reduction that can be done there, I would be interestd in that for my tuber. | ||
| Werewulf |
the only other one, is the 41 tooth sprocket and im sure thats not what you want.. | ||
| Werewulf |
ok, what kind of crows foot are you blokes using to torque the upper motor mount 3/4 inch nut...a regular crows foot wont fit.. | ||
| Werewulf |
i was looking at stand alone speedos and someone sent me this... just a thought.. http://www.motogadget.de/en/msm.html | ||
| Werewulf |
as my project continues, you can see a bunch of oem wiring that ive removed, since i no longer have an ecm or efi... cross your fingers....  | ||
| Werewulf |
btw...re: nhrs billet motor mount...i found out that the thick washer between the top of the aluminum fixture and the bottom on the frame is supposed to be omitted...it doesnt say anything about that in the instructions...for what its worth... | ||

Dave YES It was like $4500 as a zippers kit also added piston squirter's, push rod bases, roller rockers and some other things. Here is how I would look at this. If I have to do a top end job drop in the 1250, upgraded heads and cams, less than half the cost of the 88". But if you need to split the cases and have the resources by all means get it tune for torque on the 2s and 3s but for the 1s and Rs I would opt out for the hp version. How ever that is subject to change after I experiment with a 100" or better motor. Whats up with the speedometer? Let me know what info you need.

joe, it sounds like you have quite a bike...do you have pictures posted anywhere? is not, im sure everyone would like to see it.. thanks, dave | ||
| Werewulf |
to stenzel, or not to stenzel, that is the question..... i installed the billet mount and im trying to make up my mind if i want to install the stenzel or not...anyone have one installed that can comment?? | ||
| Joesbuell |
I made my own Stenzel type bracket and I'm very happy with it  It seems to have reduced the vibrations somewhat Cheers Jodie | ||
| Werewulf |
now that my ecm is gone, the next riddle, is whether or not my speedo will work...im still waiting on a few parts, so there is no hurry... | ||
| Bad_karma |
Dave The speedometer does not go through the ECM. I don't think i have a picture of the complete bike in running condition, guess I should do that before I alter that state. I believe it's like yours blue on blue with marchisini(sp) wheels the same colour. I think the stenzel has hit the root cause of the failures on the head mount. I will be installing at a later time.

ignition switch relocation...i got tired of fishing for my keys everytime i started my bike...so i just happen to a have an ignition switch from a roadking...i can lock it if i want, or just turn the knob if i want...its just a mock-up at this point...it fits where the pesky clock went, with a bit of rigging..i will plug the original ignition hole when im done...  | ||

Dave Need to swap the speedo and tach. Joe | ||
| Werewulf |
i just got word that my shock has shipped from American Sport Bike...if i can get this damn carb situation solved, i hope to have the bike running next week.... i relly like my new XB, but i was told today that i needed a bigger bike, that i look funky riding one that small...DOH! | ||
| Werewulf |
i went to get some exhaust gaskets for my race pipe today... i asked for the SE variety and he handed me some regular gaskets and told me they were the same...if i remember correctly, the SE gasket were smaller than standard...i guess thely will seal ok on a stock head... | ||
| Buellsrule |
The SE variety will not work for the race pipe and the stock ones will not work with a pipe that has a flat mating surface to the head. If you are running a Buell race header, you will need the stock gaskets. They're tapered. BR. | ||
| Werewulf |
thanks for the info... i see that someone had used the skinny SE gaskets to install the race pipe and thats prolly why they were leaking so bad before.. | ||
| Werewulf |
standard on left, screamin beagle on the right....the standard is twice as thick as the SE..  | ||

Need to swap the speedo and tach. Not necessarily. I'm sure some probably won't believe this, but this is a morsel from my memory bank. The standard S3 had the tach in the center position and the speedo to the left, while the S3-T had the speedo in the center position and the tach to the left. The thinking behind this was because that a 'touring rider' on an S3-T would be more concerned about vehicle speed, while the 'sporting rider' on an S3 would be more concerned about engine speed. Not sure what the 'proper' configuration was for the times that the S3-T was not an official model, but this is how it was done 'in the beginning' of the S3/S3-T (1997). 1313  | ||

ok, it looks like im going to put changing to one inch bars on the back burner, until i get everything else in order... im not going to install the stenzel brace, due to the fact that i have the billet motor mount............. (Message edited by werewulf on May 12, 2008) | ||

Werewulf: ie: your POST, posted Sunday, May 11,2008 - 9:19AM: The one on the right is GAKET,exhaust port PN 65324-83A and are "CRAP GASKETS" !!! The one on the left is GASKET,exhaust port PN 17048-98 and are the GASKETS everone should use !!! | ||
| Werewulf |
thanks.. if i ever get this project running, im gonna ride one day with your riding group... | ||
| Werewulf |
my biggest problem so far, is that its hard to get the parts.. if you are doing a mod, everything goes to hell... i just bought a choke cable for the cv carb and im pretty sure its wrong... i think it should have an elbow at the carb and this ones straight...so, im thinking that if i just leave off the choke cable i can run without a choke altogether.. living in the south, maybe not a problem... i have wasted a lot of money, getting wrong parts.. thats one reason that im writing this thread, as maybe it will save the next guy money that trys this...

you [most probably] cannot get by without the choke take no shortcuts! you're doing great work - don't relent, keep making good decisions...... | ||
| Werewulf |
ok, im good again.. it seems the elbow is a separate piece, so ill order one and be on to the next.. next problem, is to figure out how to route the fuel filter... the petcock in the carb tank is in a different place than the efi tank... this makes routing the fuel line a mystery... ill get out my M-2 manual and see how they do it on that model.. | ||

1313 I bought my 99 S3 and the speedometer was dead center that was the first modification I made. Tour or not speed is secondary to the environment around. Joe |
