noticed a screw in front tire of springer classic it is not leaking now, I'm headed to leesburgh tomorrow, should I plug it, leave it and forget about it or change tire, it is a new tire. I understand the risk.
Change the tire, live to ride another day. I carry a plug kit on trips and have used it, but kept speeds below 35mph till I got to a shop for a replacement.
Springer classic... You have spokes on that...no? Can't plug tires on spokes, they have a tube. Some patch/replace but for safety sake I would replace it. Plugging should be a temp fix to get you home in any event and there should be a replacement tire on the way. Unlike cars that have 4 wheels, bikes are less forgiving when a damaged tire takes an early retirement while you are riding. What cost would you put on your life as opposed to the cost of a new tire?
I worked in the shop most of the night making dyno pulls & writing a new map for a friends Fatboy, He bought a Jims 120 and sent it to Branch for Pro street build. Made 165hp & 156ftq at 6400rpm on 93 pump gas.
Huge cams and ports. If this wasn't a "B" motor numbers would be better. But a 6500rpm limit stops that. It didn't start coming on the cam till 4000rpms. I would have chosen 60G cams instead of the 64Gs he used.
Agreed, 4K is a bit high to start working. How much is anyone going to constantly ride over 4K to utilize the power. B motors spinning 6500....eeeeeeeowwwww
