Hi Mike, do you have any info on the L grind cam that was used in the Evo from 88-91 I believe?

The other thing when you get on and off your motorcycle it needs to be in gear with the clutch out not neutral so it doesn't roll off the kickstand.

I have a 1988 Lowrider Sport, had it for 35 years. Still very original in appearance but with a hot cam, larger flat slide carb, V&H shotgun pipes, updated springs in the front and rear shocks. I run it with a sidecar most of the time. It's a beast and I love it as much as my 2022 Pan Am. I've only had one engine rebuild, when the rear cylinder seized in 40C or 104F, some 20 years ago. It runs well, leaks oil very slowly.

I live in Australia, which is about as big as the lower 48, and I own a 1997 Sportster, with a Hammer Performance 1275 kit in it. The Carillo forged pistons from Hammer Performance are the perfect weight for the Sportster engine, which makes it far smoother than the factory 1200. I started riding on Triumph Bonnevilles and rode them all over the place. I don’t understand why people keep saying that you can’t tour on a Sportster. Bunch of wimps. I’m 68 years old and I still tour on my Sporty. You can keep fuel injection, just a lot more electronic trouble in my opinion. I also find it weird to hear the Sportster called ‘small’, seeing as how when I started riding in 72, the biggest bike you could get was an Electraglide with a 1200cc engine. I don’t think the Sportster is small, but I think the modern touring bikes are ridiculously large. Might as well drive a car.

BigAl Your last sentence " Might as well drive a car." made me remember a quote I was once told " Sportsters are the Mustangs of the bike world, touring bikes are the station wagons" just thought I'd share that.

I had that exact scooter, back in the early 90's, 1988 FLST Root beer & cream. Aluminum Clutch basket would shatter because the trans input shaft was a taper fit. I blew 3 of them apart, before I got the Zippers basket ring. That's what happens when you make it make 80hp on the dyno. I upgraded engine with thin copper head gasket, Crane 316-2 grind cam, advanced 4 degrees. MC Powerarc single fire ignition. Python II pipes (those were bad ass). 150 mm rear tire. Upgraded clutch pack. That thing would run a 13.7 in the quarter at 98mph.
