Motorcycle Repair: Thank You!, engine improvements, stock points
QuestionMike, I wanted to thank you for the education you have given me on Harleys! I just bought a '67 FLH and am soaking up all the information I can like a sponge. Your responses in this site have been invaluable to me in gaining a better understanding of my '67 FLH. Please keep up the great work and I will keep reading. In the future I want to do some work om my '67 FLH including engine improvements. What can you do to a stock '67 Shovelhead to maximize power and reliability (and what do you think it would cost)? The mileage is unknown. It runs OK (Bendix carburator with stock points ignition) and I have started it with both the kicker and the electric starter. Regards,
Jack
AnswerThanks. Its always nice to hear from a rider.
On your bike, i have stroked many shovels and bored them out to really get a good increase in performance. I also add a S&S carb. As to cost, its hard for me to say what you would pay, since prices are different all over the country. If you are interested, I can quote you a price for my shop. Go to my website and get my number and give me a call
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
