i may just have to sell my bikes now...

ok well maybe not, but i wasnt expecting to come across that yesterday.

i am just starting to mess around putting my basket case XB12R back together and as i was hooking up the injector wires i noticed something stamped into them. i thought NO it cant be. but yep it was. my injector connections say ford... ugh.

think of how much faster my Xb would be if i swapped those things out for chevy ones. i mean man, thats a good ten horse they lost right there!!!

Harley has a controlling interest in Ford if I'm not mistaken.

Ive got no problem with that. All my Fords, including my 1965, run better then my Chrysler 300. So I would rather see the Ford logo then the Pentastar logo on my Buell

Actually, the Ford family has controlling interest of the company. It's a bit complicated and has to do with the class of stock the family owns which gives them (they vote as one) 40% of the vote which is enough to maintain controlling power of Ford.

If they would use the power stroke diesel parts from ford then the xb's would really have power then!

I've seen the H-D F250... looks like a nice truck. A few H-D Dealers have them around chi-town.

I'll keep my Cummins powered Dodge, but if I had to pick another - I'd go the F-Series with an International.

IIRC the injectors on a tuber had a Ford part # on them,I was told by a tech that they were from a Ford 4 cyl and he had upgraded to some from a 6 cylinder for better performance on his hotrod S-3. Too bad I lost contact with him.
