Ever hear of a V-twin Evo or Twin Cam motor with approximately 85% of available torque coming in at approximately 1500 RPM? We have! At RPMHemi.com we do it all day long with our patented 4 Valve Hemi Bolt on Head Conversion Kits. “This is simply the best performance bolt on for the buck in the V-Twin market!” states Phillip Holmes, VP of Marketing & Sales for RPMHemi.com. You can estimate an approximate 20% power gain. This is a proven technology with both street and racing applications.

How it works: Utilizing our patented 4Valve system in a hemispherical combustion chamber we can increase airflow 1.5 times, increasing the compression ratio while maintaining a 25° spark advance, which gives an equal full burn in the chamber, while preventing pre detonation. All this in a package that is ¼” lower than stock heads. Our headsets and engines are also low in emissions.

RPMHemi.com manufactures their patented 4 Valve Hemi Head Kits and sells complete 97”, 107” and 114” motors with or without our 4Valve Hemi Heads and we have our patented Ram Chamber for single and dual carburetor V-Twin applications.

Currently, we have several OEM motorcycle manufacturers testing our products and all looks good.

Big Dog Motorcycles used the annual V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati to provide dealers with a ’sneak peek’ of the first of the new models for its proposed 2009 model range. Big Dog’s Wolf is due for an official release in September of 2008. However, at the time of going to print the final specification has not yet been clarified.

What is known about the bike is that the frame will feature a single downtube fit with a radical swingarm design. The tire sizes will be 130/60R-23 front and 220/50R-20 rear. The narrower rear tire follows a trend which company founder and CEO, Sheldon Coleman, outlined at the company’s recent dealer presentation in California, and which has been set by this year’s Mutt, with its 250-section tire deviating from the company’s more normal fitment of a 300.

Motive power for the Wolf will be provided by an S&S 121ci X-Wedge, with electronic fuel injection, mated to a six-speed BDM Balance-Drive transmission.

The company says an extensive chrome package will be offered as standard and there will also be an optional highly-styled saddlebag.

CUSTOM Chrome Europe will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its popular Dealer Show at Mainz, Germany, on March 29th and 30th, with the event again hosting AMD’s Official European Championship of Custom Bike Building.

The event will see Custom Chrome putting up a parts and cash prize fund that includes bike freight/expenses contributions of 5.000 Euros each for the first three competitors to travel to compete at the 5th annual Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in August.

Always a popular weekend with dealers in Europe, the event combines distributor warehouse show features such as vendor booths, seminars and parts and accessory sales promotions and incentives with what is widely regarded as the highest standard of custom bike design and engineering competition held outside of the United States.

European Championship judging will be by the competitors themselves and a selected VIP jury. The event is a genuinely open Championship, but whilst the majority of competitors are drawn from the custom dealer network in Europe, the unique formula of the weekend has provided a showcase in which leading private builders have been able to come and have their projects judged alongside the market’s professionals on a level playing field.

There will be sub-classes to recognize the specific design and engineering achievements of builders working with Custom Chrome Motorcycle packages and Modified Harley-Davidson frames and engines, but as ever, the primary hallmark of the European Championship will be the increasingly admired ‘FreeStyle’ class in which design and engineering diversity and originality is promoted and rewarded.

For their dealer show Custom Chrome is promising the largest turn-out of leading European and American vendors yet, with Jesse James, Cory Ness, John Reed, Fred Kodlin and Marcus Walz among those slated to be taking part.

The show runs from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on Saturday March 29th (the dealer/industry-only day) and Sunday March 30th at its established venue, the atmospheric Phoenixhalle in Mainz, Germany.
