You may be quite correct! I prefer to think of it as the front 1/4 of a 340, with Hemi chambers (baby Hemi) lol! But I've really never researched much about the engineering aspect of the Ironheads.. you'd think I would have. I've had that thing for 20 years! You know since you said that, and I stepped back, and looked at my pictures, I can actually visualize that and see it! That makes total sense and I know a lot of the old Rolls-Royce Merlin engines were Hemis2 cylinders out of a radial aircraft engine.
Yes they were. That's where the Hemi started from what I understand.You may be quite correct! I prefer to think of it as the front 1/4 of a 340, with Hemi chambers (baby Hemi) lol!

Thanks Brother! Much Appreciated! This bike was only available in two colors black and black! Lol I did see one someone did with white and I thought it looked kind of cool, but the XLCR never left the factory, available only in BlackGreat scoot, I’m a fan of the murdercycles.
Hey HarrisonM ! how you been doing? I'm still coughing up yellow crap but my oxygen levels are around 95 to 97 I'm out of shape I lost 30 lb my muscles atrophied but all in all I'm able to get up and move around I was on death's door before I firmly believe you guys in your prayers actually help save my lifeBadass bike, @Ironracer . Thanks for sharing. How are you doing. Feeling better now?
They should all only come in black. Harley-Davidson makes motorcycles, everyone else makes ****.Thanks Brother! Much Appreciated! This bike was only available in two colors black and black!

Thank You Mike! It's taking a while to get my strength back definitely! Heck the doctors are so silly the first two that diagnosed me sent me away from the hospital with no antibiotics and a "go back to work note" immediately. That's where things went wrong because they didn't listen, the third ER specialist, was the one that said "you have 24 to 48 hours to live" I had to borrow oxygen tanks in a home oxygen concentrator for a retired cop friend of mine, because the nurse at the pulmonologist couldn't be bothered giving me oxygen there so after walking from the waiting room to where I got weighed in to my little room there she had me stand for 5 minutes with the meter on my finger while I came up from 84% to 88%! I should have had borrowed my fiance photograph that and raised total hell about it, because insurance would have covered oxygen tanks and the oxygen machine.. other than being beat up from it and seeing blood vessels in my forehead I never thought I'd see before and being forced to sell my place, for penny's on the dollar, I came out of it pretty good! I'm still here, and I'm moving around, Thank God for Y'all Man! Much love for You Guys and I Thank You All so Much for All the Prayers! You guys are severely righteous people! Also, since we're all here I definitely need to thank my fiance Barbie and my retired cop friend Richard, but most importantly the Good Lord Himself, and Jesus!That is good to hear. Prayers will continue. If your oxygen levels are that good now, it sounds like you lungs are much better. Has the doctor cleared you to start doing light exercise yet? It will take a while to get your strength back.
Keep up the good work,
Mike
I know zero about Harley's, are those factory pistons or aftermarket high compression pistons?You may be quite correct!

Well, being an actual Hemi head engine, with the 180° hemispherical combustion chamber, you can get away with pop-ups like that, without a bunch of unnecessary modifications. However those are Forged Custom built racing Pistons from Manley. Very few of those were manned, in fact, they are not even available these days, haven't been since the 70's Brother!I know zero about Harley's, are those factory pistons or aftermarket high compression pistons?
Wow, like I was saying I don't know anything about Harley's.
