Twin Cam 88 models have a tensioner shoe that wears out , there are 2, 1 is on the primary drive seen here the other is behind this which drives the rear and front cams. If you suspect a noise then this one possibility. This one is so bad there is no shoe left and its steel on steel which is not really good.

The old fuel filter blocked trickey. That will stuff you out the back of woop woop when the bike refuses to go any faster than 60 kph. Unfortunately one of returned solders copped this one. Some little man failed to change it when he was meant to and it slowly clogged up full of crap 14 thou later. Every 40km we change them here in Aus. because they need it , period.

This little beast didn't just crack the gearbox mount plate but sheared it in 2 places. I guess you might as well go out with a bang!

Why would you want to make a carby bike a fuel injected bike? Well if you are Scotty then that's only the surface, scratch a little deeper. What bike is it you say, uhm its like this JD and Scotty made a frame used 1948 castings and put a Twin cam in it.

So what, I've seen it done before, not this time. Bub's makes its own pan head look rocker boxes out of solid aircraft alloy billet to match its finned pan head cam cover for TC as well and you would be nuts to say oh yeah seen it before, they are unique and so a 1948 hand shift 106 worked Twin Pan was born for 1 year.

Then Scotty says I'll EFI it with no digital speedo and no indicators and no wire harness. It's cool I'll just teach myself and see what happens. First thing is it's got to look the same as before = sporty pump from the bottom, see.The tanks are repo 3.5 gallon shovel tanks.
