After many months of scrimping and saving I can finally say I will get to ride my trike with my 124" tomorrow. A Big Thank You to TorqueInc ( John ) for all his advice, help, guidance and his friendship with my project.

I got my heat cycles done and Im ready to put the first of many miles on my trike again. The headwork John has done and cams he designed will make my 124" a serious torque monster

Got my first 30 mile break in and I have a really strong 124" that is just wanting to run!!! It was tough to restrain myself from going over 2800 rpms on this first round of riding. Going to drain the first round of break in oil and ride some more

John ( Torque Inc ) has hit a home run with his head work and custom cam design. Thank you John!!!

Here is my build

S&S 124 with -10.9cc pistons
HD bathtub heads set 85.5cc 1.99 intake / 1.61 exhaust
Heads flowed to match my HPI 58/58mm TB
Custom ground cams 611 intake / 575 exhaust
Engine compression static 10.52 corrected 9.4
V&H Power Dual head pipe customized to fit my 2008 trike
CVO Mufflers with Fullsac 2.25 baffles ( Love the mellow sound they make )

Ya know aside from the cam,that exhaust sounds kinda good,most trikes just don't sound right....and I am not sure how to describe it.

Best part is Tom fabbed up the whole thing himself and did a damn fine job for not having a lift and all....very cool

Thank you everyone and thank you John. My un-scientific test using the back of my hand lol, it feels as though I have equal exhaust flow. I think what helped was eliminating the hump on the left side exhaust a trike would have. Also the Fullsac baffles give it a geat sound.

I'm starting to think your set up will make a nice retirement gift to myself in a few years as my ankles and knees are shot to sh*t. Great job Tom.

All the best,
Dave
