Mike, if you could just come up with a good add-on ign. box. And, yes, I know you've tried. (The rev limit increase is not so much a big deal, but the increased power output is!

And some Falicon stroker crank kits (with Wiseco big bore kits) for the 360* and 270* engines.

That's great Mike! Do you have a picture where you can see the engine guards mounted on a bike? It's hard to tell the size and fit without such a pic.
Keep 'em coming!

Papa,
After talking at length with Graeme at Thunderbike, I'm not at all sure if more revs is the answer. Their billet camshafts are making impressive power and they have a head-porting expert working for them who is untapping some hidden power as well. Stay tuned. (ah, pun unintended)

Piper,
I just got these in and I thought about putting them on my eBobber... but quite frankly, I thought it might look a bit odd. If one of the first customers can snap a nice pic for me, they would be handsomely rewarded.
I did hold them up to the bike and I see that they will fit rather nicely. They hug the head pipes very well.
BTW... this is the second iteration of these bars. The first ones were too wide and boxy IMHO. These new ones bolt to the frame at the top using the horn bolt and the bottom bolts to the forward controls crossmember. Clean and simple.
Mike

Oops. I think my comment on "increased power" wasn't clear. What I meant by that is having an ignition box with higher spark output so a guy can increase his spark plug gap to somewhere around .060".
And I agree, there's no sense in reving the snot out of these Hinckley twins, especially without port work/bigger intake valves. That's why I like the idea of a stoker crank: more torque and power without the revs.

Papa,
So far all the procom boxes I received have been DOA. I'm not the only one. So our Swede friend Jojjie appears to be the only one squeezing more revs. Any of the aftermarket coils & wires will give you a hotter spark, but if you can't get more A/F in & out of your engine, what's the benefit?

PapaDean, just ordered the nology coils and some of those fancy looking wires that Brent just put up on his site. I'm curious to see what that can do for my ride, especially since the bike's starting harder than she did last winter. Based on what you can see on those new coils, what would you say is a good gap to run, if I stay with the stock plugs?

I am also anxiously waiting to see how they look on a bike. It should greatly improve the comfort of my Speedmaster. Larry
