Now if S&S with produce the X-Wedge with a master/slave connecting rod design, or an offset crank pin, for a 360 degree firing order (both piston reach TDC at the same time with alternating firing, like a parallel twin Triumph) with a gear driven balance shaft, then the Centra [likely] wouldn't be needed.
Olwyn,
Are your thoughts that the counterbalance shaft would be the biggest improvement to the Centa coupling or the more "normal" firing dual TDC at the same time with alternate firing?
I go back to the Victory ACE that Pete Larson developed and later purchased by MMC. All Pete used was the Harley "B" motors in 88", 96" and in at least one, #10, a Harley 120R "B" motor. I'm not sure what Pete used for the coupling from the motor to the T-5 5-speed, but it must have worked well using the "B" counterbalanced motors. They of course would still have the 45 degree single crank pin setup.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Have a great weekend.
