Super Street Drag Bike Build Episode One Flywheel Assembly

[@matt20092]

yeah, the thrust washer thing got me too, I gathered you micro'd the rods first. I'm sure the rods were pretty much spot on, but thanks for the vid, people really appreciate the time taken to do this, and potentially a loss of business for you guys for the DIYers. Thats the bit I really appreciate. In saying that, who wouldnt pay the bucks for the right guys with kudos of knowledge and the right tools. Its amazing you guys do in 1 hour what would take me 3 days . All the best, thanks again. And I'm just talking street.

I like the video . I've got an EVO but I watch as many videos as I can . I like Pacific Mike and Tattro but every one has a different style .

Great no nonsense show. Thanks.

[@gorillahd9247]

I am looking forward to seeing the progress on this build. Should be one heck of a nice bike! Scott

[@garycb8592]

Looking forward to the next one..Thanks for posting.

Awesome Dan. More dragbike build please 😀 I hope to see some chassis building too that would be awesome.

[@HAMMERPERFORMANCE]

dont know about chassis building lol, but we will film this build all the way through

[@nikolaiownz]

@@HAMMERPERFORMANCE it's awesome to see these videos. Always nice to learn around your favourite Harley engine.

Those rods are eye candy

Woah mother of all torque wrenches

[@_justgrant]

Hey!! Where y’all at?!? This bike up and running now?!?

[@johngilbert6810]

What impressed me is that the nuts(which are barely 5/16" thick) can be torqued to 350ft. lbs.

[@joelittle7774]

Very cool, informative. I do wish you had followed thru showing the finish truing process.

[@HAMMERPERFORMANCE]

Hi Joe Ya, you would have been watching the video for about another couple hours LOL! And we would have had to edit in a ton of Bleeps for all the bad words LOL!

[@lbahr11]

You have to show the flywheel truing process. This video was like leaving the movie halfway through. You don’t know how it ended! Maybe you could do a video on just truing flywheels.

[@HAMMERPERFORMANCE]

Thanks for the insight, we will consider it.

[@priceamp]

Tatro shows this process on his youtube site many times. Dang, sure wish I had a truing stand. I had to make one out of a wheel truing stand, which didn't work very well.

[@TheValiant2289]

Curious why did you go with the s&s taper pin crank instead of the 08+ 1.5" pin crank?

[@nitrousshovelhead]

why do you guys run the rods backwards? didn't they do that on old UL flatheads? I always thought that the female rod went on the back to fling oil onto the front cylinder? does that change the balance percentage?

[@soranrix]

uh finally you got a microfon regards Sören

[@bullrick3]

ross is the homie

[@brianmackey6923]

What made u use s&s wheels instead of an xb crank with Carrillo rods

[@HAMMERPERFORMANCE]

the XB crank is a press together crank, I wanted a rebuild able crank. we do not do press together cranks here. I would of had to send it out to Darkhorse to have it built which would have been a lot more expensive. Also, I wanted to use the stock motor sprocket shaft so I can go with a 30 tooth aluminum motor sprocket.

[@joelittle7774]

So after watching the video a few times I notice their is no thrust washers on the crank pin for the bearings. I looked at the catalog and do not see thrust washers on the parts list either. However, I have a complete S&S flywheel, and can see the thrust washers installed. Can you help me understand what is going on, or did I miss something. Thanks, Joe.

[@HAMMERPERFORMANCE]

Hi Joe You do not need the thrust washers on the S&S flywheels unless they machined them to accept the thrust washers. On mine the flywheels were flat, which did not call for thrust washers. Hope this helps.

[@antoniostavernarakis]

what do you think about using titanium in a street engine,what is positive and negative in this material using. thank's

[@swede910]

Why does he have them rods reversed?

[@nitrousshovelhead]

good question

[@teresaconnell8625]

Will a pinion shaft Shear off in the flywheel

[@HAMMERPERFORMANCE]

I dont understand the question, can you elaborate a little more?

[@13maley]

I thought the Jims 3 hole was the goto pin
