After much dragging my heels and feeling rather ashamed at other folks seeming ability to knock a bike out in very little time ive finally finished the Harley and ridden it.
First impressions very promising but now the fine tuning starts.
Im running a comet duster clutch with the 94 pulley and currently have the final drive geared 21f and 51r. Despite the tall gearing i could only promote belt slip when either attempting to wheel it about at walking pace in a controlled fashion getting it around the obstacles and ramps needed to get to a road. Or i detected some slip for a second or so when giving the throttle a fistful from a constant speed.
Although the rear is geared pretty tall it pulled up a reasonable hill without slip and i was able to accelerate up it without slipping. Also I was pretty surprised at its punchy acceleration. OK this is subjective but I was expecting a bit of a slug and it put a grin on my face.
It topped out at around 45mph which was reasonable given that I have the govenor springs set to limit the rpm whilst I put the first few hours on the engine. Also the linkage to operate the govenor cable is a prototype and may not be moving the govenor to max revs. Easily fixed by moving the location of the throttle cable mount a few mm down the lever.
I scored a cheap photo tacho off ebay so I'll be setting too and seeing what Im revving at before making any alterations.
Definatly plan to drop the front sprocket to 19t. Then hopefully its MOT and put a few miles on it and get a proper feel for whats going on before thinking about tuning clutch bob weights and pully springs.
All in all what an amazing feeling riding something of your own design, im gonna grin all evening.
Many thanks to all the contributors here for helping make this happen but particularly a big cheers to Stuart and Diesel Dave without whom I'd still be scratching my head at various problems.

The bike looks great and i can't wait to see it at the rally. I think Dave has to take more plaudits than I. I'm only the publisher around here
