Thinkin' about a CB Performance turn-key dyno tuned stroker motor.........

Ernie -

I have the same sidewinder exhaust as you! Did you like the sound of that exhaust system when Pat cranked up the revs? Did it produce the exhaust note you were hoping for?

I'm very satisfied with mine, although it is only an 1835/dual Kadrons.

Hope you can get on the road real soon!

Cool!...except for the ticket, of course. Now enjoy it and break it in properly to make it last a looong time....

Got her running today Ricardo, but wait, there's more!
Oh ya...
Mr. funny guy (me) out road testing my new motor gets his 1st moving violation in over 20 yrs. Hardy Har Har! Strangely enough, 82 is not legal on a lonely 55mph country road even if you have a new motor in your speedster. The good news is that the motor is doing just fine! And the "kind" CHIP officer only wrote me for 72 and then told me that I can take an online Ca dept. of motor vehicles safty course to eliminate any driving record liability. I hope so...... He also advised me to hit the freeway if I really wanted "to go fast".
Jim... My exhaust sounds pretty gal-durned fine as a matter o' fact. Maybe too fine, I might add....
Sure is good to be back in the saddle, BTW.

Ernie
Where is the video? Same goes for you Ricardo.

Ernie - OK! New CB engine - CHECK! New A-1 Performance Exhaust - CHECK! Engine Started without bursting into flames - CHECK! Re-powered Speedy runs like a bat out of hell - CHECK!

See ya in Paso Robles - no excuses!!

Peace - Out!

Ernie.

Great news - glad you're enjoying your motor. It looks great, a real quality job

"... the motor made 140 HP and 147# torque but still idled like a kitten."
Good stuff! Too bad about the CHiP. Would he have found it humorous if you'd asked to take a photo?

When ya all get to Paso robles - and if Jim ain't there - check at the local hoosgow - and bring some bail money - horsepower can be hazardous to your wallet.

Calling MUSBEJIM!!!!! Check out my new Sidewinder tip. Got it at the local Auto Zone after checking the Porsche catologs. Only 27 bucks!

Ernie - you GOTTA be luvin that Sidewinder exhaust. Nice touch with the chrome tip - and a bargain to boot. Looking forward to meeting up with you at Paso and check out your new go-fast engine!

Peace - Out!

Great looking tip.Can you post more pictures?

Here some (old) info about my CB performance engine.

I stopped by CB Performance today. Pat said he sent you a new distributor. Let us know how that worked out. Yes, I was talking to him about a new engine. Can't wait to see yours.

Warren

Right On Warren!
Pat called just yesterday morning>>>> said it was on the way!
How bout Farmersville? Talk about getting away from the urban rat-race!

Yeah, I don't think they make a living off the locals.

Thanks everybody for all the advice that I received from this thread.
It is my pleasure to report that my winter project seems to be working out just fine. The only hic-up was the temporary oil leak at the distributor. Apparently, I just needed more break-in miles to get those rings seated.
I have to mention that Pat at CB Perf. treated me great! And the A-1 "sidewinder" exhaust fit up just right and sounds fine to me.
Thanks again, Ernie.

WooHOO! See you in Paso!!

What's it like to drive Ernie? What sort of power, acceleration etc.?

I'm still considering the same spec motor!

Just completed an 800 mile road trip... It ran great! The motor never got above 200 degrees at 65-70 mph during a 3 hour stretch on a 90* day.
BTW, I got 28 mpg at that time.
Cheers!

Ernie - I don't know about you, but I really enjoy those long road trips (my son does as well). It's hard to beat the enjoyment of top-down cruising on the highway!

Glad to hear your ride performed well and that you kept the rubber side down! Any pics?
