Hi guys, I'm the new kid on the block, just introducing myself. My name is Dennis and I'm an alcoho.........Oh wait, wrong meeting. I started riding in 1958 when I traded a rifle to another kid for his Whizzer, which he couldn't get running, I was 12 years young. I was hooked. A couple years later, I picked up a Sachs motorcycle.I didn't like it that much and decided to build one around the engine. I was 14 years old and proud as hell of that machine but, evidentally my parents were bothered by me riding something home made that would go 70 mph. So, they took me to Sears and bought me a brand new Allstate motorcycle. From there, I snapped up several different bikes along the way. In 1969, I landed my first Harley, a used sportster with magneto ignition, no battery, and the hardest starting heap I ever wrapped my legs around. I bought my first new Harley in the fall of 1988, an FXRS, modified the crap out of it with a Jerry Branch engine, and drove that critter 144,877 miles with absolutely no problems at all, save for 2 new batteries. Harley told me at that time, that if I didn't get that Amzoil out of it, they would void my warranty. I never did, but I never needed the warranty anyway. I sold the bike exactly 20 years later in the fall of 2008, just after the 105th, and bought a new FXSTC Anniversary Model. Incidentally, I sold that '88 FXRS with the original drive belt on it, and that engine was dumping out 102.4 horses on Branches dyno, and many times I used every bit of it. The new bike has modified heads, jugs, pistons, and crank. It has Andrews #55G cams and S&S cam gears. It has Thundermax brains and that was the most dramatic change I made to the bike! The best thing you can do for your overheating twin-cam is get that stock computer out of there and bolt in a Thundermax! The best price I found on it was @ American Classic Motors, they will negotiate. Well, I guess I've rambled enough, so I'll get outa here. We'll talk again, Bye for now.
