So, Steve, I'm counting on you to know your stuff and to take care of me. that chirp, tick, flutter, what ever you want to call it. shlt, nothing could be noisier than the valve train. I was told that the forged pistons were noisy. Maybe cast pistons are just fine, but it no longer makes sense to me to put something in there that doesn't take the heat as well as forged. and I know what a freakin' PING sounds like. It would be nice to be able to take it to them with a ping and have them not tell me that the noise is freakin' normal. yeah, I want my bike to look cool, but more importantly, I want it to run well. They think everything is about the accessories. I think Harley has gotten too damned big to be of much innovative use, partly because of the government scrutiny their size demands, but their lack of foresight into the market.

maybe for stage I SE upgrade but not for anything more.

If you think those stinkin' little download maps are worth while, you are sadly mistaken. What a piece of underengineered crap and what is the deal with everything going to EFI and the service centers not being able to deal with it. I've always wanted a Harley and now that I have one, am wondering why. Harley needs to have their collective heads examined when it comes to putting out an enjoyable and performing motorcycle. Stock 88 motors are just dogs when it comes to performance and the valve train noise, once upgraded to 95 cu is ridiculous. I'm tired of throwing money, and more importantly, time at Harley. The direction now is 98 cubic inches, CNC ported heads, forged pistons, 37G cams, new lifters and an expert, Steve, at tuning the damned thing. The Harley service departments around here have absolutely no clue what they are doing when deveating from stock and even less when it comes to tuning EFI. I'm not a wrench, but I know when something isn't running correctly and I know good noise from bad. Everything that is stock or SE Harley is coming off. Additionally, if you are replacing pistons anyway and the combustion chambers are large, it is more cost effective to use the domed pistons for the same price as the flat top pistons and not having to spend the extra for milling the heads.Ĭlick to expand.So far everything about my build I have been unhappy with except my gear drive cams. Since you would be milling the heads to a desired compression ratio, there would be no need for the domed pistons. If milling the heads, flat top pistons would be a better choice. Since the stock heads commonly have 86-87cc and larger combustion chambers, the 10.25:1 SE cast pistons help compensate and can yield a static compression ratio in the 9.7-9.9:1 range without milling the heads. The 10.25:1 pistons work well with stock heads that have oversized combustion chambers. The combination of the 2 would increase compression to around 11.5:1, far too much for a cast piston. The 10.25:1 cast pistons increase compression with a dome. The SE perf heads Increase compression with reduced size combustion chambers. While they don't work with SE performance heads, they are not intended to. Click to expand.Not all of us are of that opinion.
