What's on Gas Man's Lift [kills even your high speed internet] - Page 13

So is there any performance gain in putting on an open primary? It looks heavier that the stock setup. ie, more rotational mass producing less overall power.

Heavier? At the common weight of those bikes would it really matter?

Gas Man · 11-21-2009, 04:57 PM

no its usually lighter. Plus you have less rotational mass because the belt weights almost nothing. The chain is a double chain and weights a crap load. I guess there may be less drive train power loss due to this but nothing I have saw in factual print.

Plus no fluid. I know my primary holds a full quart. Don't know how much those big mothers are slurpin.

Yep, just a qrt. In a primary there is no need for more. The chain and clutch just have to pass thru it and fling it all around.

Werd to yur momz.

Ya know... being summer you can expect more rotation of the regular bikes aka the guys I ride with. Caveman brought over his 08 Ultra. It needed some "once over" being he bought it used. Also a complete oil change, scavenger, trans and primary oil changed. Clutch adjusted, rear air suspension adjustment, rear belt deflection check/adjust, replace/adjust highway pegs, remove front bumper, lube pivits, check fasternors, etc...

It's no wonder why it takes us 4 hours.

Well of coarse we do have some fun while we're at it...

Can you fit a 240# 6' guy in a Little Tikes plastic kids car? Yes, YES you can!

And you can't always drink beer. Sometimes you need to hydrate. Too bad when the guy you were just making fun of is the guy you ask for a water. You should expect something like this...

Nice cup Caveman!

The holligan behavior is so contagious.

will you adopt me? I'll live in the garage.

Gas Man · 06-22-2010, 12:10 PM

I will and you're welcome to come to the garage anytime.

And don't say it's too far. Ebbs came up from mississippi to change his oil.

all my big rides are planned on the opposite direction but at some point I may consider it
