Attack of clones
Harley-Davidson
In general, there is nothing surprising that кастомайзеры motors of this company use. It is the standard, classics, a basis of bases. But the artist's soul always in search, therefore even this "natural" product very seldom avoids intervention from the outside. Only the lazy office on manufacture of spare parts for this class of motorcycles doesn't bring in the catalog the variants of forcemeat for the motor. Even at the factory to you with pleasure will increase volume and capacity of your handsome man at the expense of installation of motor tuning and whales-sets Screamin Eagle.
That there wouldn't tell, but even despite certain loss стоковых engines on some positions to motors of a small batch of other companies, they have one conclusive advantage – reliability tremendous reliability of all right made factory product, and as a bonus to it – a heap of cheap and accessible spare parts from thousand manufacturers.
S&S
Let's begin with leaders. S&S (as them yet haven't accused of nazism?) has achieved, perhaps, the greatest successes in advancement of the V-shaped products in weights. In far 1952 year, the founder of the company George Smith has said a sacramental phrase «I want, that all motorcycles went faster» and has started manufacture of a various stuffing for the motors, raising мощностные indicators. After pistons and cylinders business has grown and to engines, "clones" Harley-Davidson. Gradually winning the market, the firm has celebrated semicentenial anniversary, has got stronger, has grown up and has entered into 2008 year with a worthy novelty.
A new series code-named «P», has been created after success of the previous updating «SH». In it, I will remind, the company has offered clients engines in volume from 80 to 103 cubic inches, simulating legendary motor Shovel Head, but offering considerable in comparison with the original technical advantages. «P» a series is already old kind Pan Head, made on the basis of experience with «SH», but with additional updatings. In particular in the new motor the hydraulic drive of valves has been established own manufacture and the greasing system is modified. And the most important thing, thanks to width of a lineup the engine of this series it will be possible to establish on any «харлеевское» the chassis from 48th year to 99th when the factory in Milwaukee has ceased to let out separate engines and transmissions. In our century of love to "retro" this V-Twin is simply doomed to success and a recognition, for nostalgic it is an optimum variant!
Other novelty from S&S, motor X-Wedge – something new to the company. Throughout 6th years engineers S&S worked on the project, and this winter on the conveyor the first such engine has been let out. 56 degrees between cylinders, the modern self-regulated injector, three cam-shafts – it is quite possible to tell that this new word in a batch production of motors V-Twin. The Wide choice of volumes of the engine also should be pleasant for buyers – it is possible under the taste and a purse to choose from variants from 110 to 139 кубоинчей.
These two series have fixed authority of the company, in the market, whether though for a long time already about gravity of intentions S&S told a recognition of their production hardly all stars кастомайзинга and the large tuning studio periodically putting these engines on "miracles", and sometimes, as for example company Big Dog or Arlen Ness, and at all completing motorcycles of "Esendesami" on a constant contract basis.
RevTech
Perhaps, one of the main competitors S&S in business моторостроения is company RevTech which is letting out a wide modeling ruler V-V. Being division Custom Chrome, RevTech has solved very important problem – a sale problem. Through the catalog and numerous dealers, at the expense of the pleasant price and set of updatings easily maintaining a competition to other manufacturers, many thousand motors are dispatched to clients all over the world and become heart of the most radical kastom-projects.
From novelties at RevTech it is necessary to note new 110-inchovyj the motor which mechanics Custom Chrome, without sleeping at the nights, have finished by a future season. Low vibrations, at the expense of reduction of a working piston stroke to 4 inches are promised to clients, but also the motor as always is powerful and beautiful – well still it is necessary to the admirer of cult V-obraznikov?!
TP Engineering
One more strong player in the market, deservedly defying the reliability and workmanship. These motors are more expensive than many competitors, but it becomes on closer examination clear on what basis. I will not remember, that TP ever made advances to forms, designers simply took the classical engine and have achieved its ideal processing. Another matter the maintenance – the new series of motors consisting of copies of volume 114, 121 and 124 кубодюйма, quite applies for a rank of the hi-tech. Each of these engines is supplied by the new patented system of the greasing, forcing oil at first to pass through the filter before to get to the engine and providing its constant receipt in the top and bottom parts of the motor; new ignition with the gage of position of a shaft; specially developed pistons, bars and exterior subjects, like a cover of the air filter.
Ultima
Be afraid old residents of the market! A new star all right! Here at whom rather wide assortment: 80, 89, 96, 100, 107, 113, 120, 127, 130, 140 ci, from 75 horsepowers to 165. Any form of a complete set, any variants of delivery, motor sale on spare parts – Ultima is ready on all to win the market and it is similar to it it is possible. The Extremely flatter responses of clients, operative work of managers, and the main thing the responsible price do the part – step by step, the motor behind the motor the company selects positions at skilled and skilled, and here already many кастомайзеры try a novelty, and soon don't see any "but" to "change" on Ultima completely.
Zipper’s
And here production of this firm is approved even by factory Harley-Davidson. 20 years existing already more the company are engaged basically in "gymnastics" стоковых engines. On its yeast usual Evoljushn can start singing absolutely other voice and absolutely other songs, but the special attention is deserved by the engines made under this mark. Besides in a course immodest volumes from 95 to 131 inches, but the main thing it is full flight of engineering imagination. You want четырёхклапанные a head for sports driving? Please! You wish a tractor twisting moment? It is already ready!
Patrick Racing
Here motors for fans of ideal appearance. Irreproachable furnish, continuous chrome and the polished aluminum – a limit of dreams of the master appreciating a visual component in кастомайзинге. The price of the engines presented in variations 113, 120, 125 and 128 cubic inches quite corresponds both to shine and to capacity, here it will not be possible to save. All motors are completed with cam-shafts and aluminum heads Patrick Racing, carburetors Mikuni and system of rockers of company JIMS. Standard for Patrick Racing the compression makes 10.25:1, the 128-inch motor has an electronic decompressor.
JIMS
Company JIMS, in turn, has pleased fans "more powerfully" and "faster" with the new engine in volume 131 cube. As well as in the previous versions, the piston stroke makes 4? Inch, but the piston has added in sizes and now makes 4 5/16 inches in diameter. Aluminum heads are developed taking into account aerodynamics and, according to engineers, cooled better than ever, and the modernized oil pomp and at all does work of mechanisms as it is impossible for more free. JIMS in every possible way pays attention of the public to the diligence in the field of care of the client and this model declares, as approaching for all types стоковых and not so frames.
Accurate Engeneering
And now time for creativity in the pure state. Experts of the company declare the readiness to undertake any project. All is simple: the client pays – miracles are born. All accessories of motors Accurate are made in own workshop, and the result always corresponds to quantity of zero on the check. Absolutely deservedly these motors are considered as one of the best in the world and is exact the most elite, knowingly in the company there is a turn from representatives of the top pantheon кастомайзинга, ripened on the project new "out of the common".
Kiwi
And here these children have come further all and have started to do remarks Flathead. For fans of olden time – there is no variant is better how to equip the motorcycle with a compact and graceful motor from KIWI, with not children's volume in 84 cubes and disorder of cylinders in 42 degrees.
The motor on a wish can be completed with transmission, primary transfer and coupling or to work with a standard box from Evolution. The present find for fans!
STD
The next company successfully turning time back. Any volumes (from 74 to 120 inches), prisoners in cover Pan/Shovel or Shovelhead, full preparation for work and a complete set carburetor Mikuni and all electrosystem, tests of each motor at the stand – whether is care of the brother кастомайзере?
R&R
This company has some slogans which should bribe. How to you of definition «Appearance of jewelry» or «quality of a Swiss watch»? Clearly, as the price corresponds to the above-stated standards. But anyway, R&R – motors for the special purposes, executed of aluminum of expensive marks with use only the American spare parts that already bribes at once well-founded штатовских clients.
Only small list of accessible engines V-Twin in the market is above resulted, but also it is enough of it to understand that frameworks in кастомайзинге are defined not by technical possibilities, and degree воспаленнности imagination, well or still, to tell the truth, the finance.
