Just got done putting the TB 51mm crank in my 88 Racehead and wow what a difference.

The torque down low is awesome and is totally the extra boost in power I was looking for to be satisfied. I ripped on it good and it stood up in all gears with my +2 swingarm like I was hoping. I'm still using the stock exhaust and a 20mm carb so I know I'm not even getting the most out of it. If you have an 88RH you need to throw in the crank it's definitely worth it!

What package from tb did you buy? they have like 6 differnt packages lol

LongMooie · 11-06-2009, 04:46 PM

strokers are fun with all that power but i loved my revy 88

caseclosed715 · 11-06-2009, 04:47 PM

I bought the TB Stroker kit 1 (Honda Trail Bikes) which just comes with the crank and gaskets. Definitely worth the money if you have some to play with

fiddy4ever · 11-06-2009, 04:48 PM

yea i plan on doing that pretty soon and just running it with my 20mm carb

caseclosed715 · 11-06-2009, 04:49 PM

My bike runs really good with the 20mm carb but it's kinda boring on top just a lot of low to mid torque

caseclosed715 · 11-06-2009, 05:09 PM

Oh yeah I'm still using the stock clutch with HD springs I'll see how long that lasts lol didn't slip yet though...

trd20 · 11-06-2009, 05:14 PM

slap a mikuni vm26 with a big bore exhaust and that top end won't be so boring anymore

mxracer41 · 11-06-2009, 07:33 PM

so true, i just put one on mine a week or two ago and probably already have 3-5 hours on it

. would have more but its been raining alot.. i'm running the big bore FMF powercore 4 its pretty cheap IMO for a good exhaust and works awesome. i'm still running a 20mm carb as well and the bottom end is amazing! but the top.. not a ton different than my 88 RH. but i traded a spare Vm24 i had from a KTM 65 for a new TB 24mm, can't wait to try that out

xr50rider14 · 11-06-2009, 07:39 PM

i think i might throw in the crank in the winter when i have my engine operation/maintenance class so i can do it in and show off with a beast of a motor haha

htx6002 · 11-07-2009, 04:34 PM

ok so i just got a tb108 and i have just an 88 kit from tb also with no RH

would it be alot funner with the manual clutch on the 108?
or is it to much?

or on the 88?

trd20 · 11-07-2009, 05:01 PM

manual clutch definitely makes it more fun to ride, but I really suggest that you put a race head on before anything else. We put a 108 stroker kit on my brothers bike last night, which doesn't have a race head, and it ran like crap, actually horribly, compared to mine. Both bikes are exactly the same set up, minus me having the rh and him not. Also, if you end up getting the race head I would get it ported and polished if you have the extra money, it makes the 108 kits run a heck of a lot better than they already do.

PitRacerVince · 11-07-2009, 05:12 PM

for a great head I use the E22 head its cheap reliable and rips! I got the head, piston, gasket set for like $115 shipped from dratv.com but for to order the right cam sprocket which a buddy had laying around. I think those r like $15

50sdownSouth · 11-07-2009, 05:26 PM

Iam planing on doing the same with my tb88, after reading the post I cant wait, I put a pipe on my bike back when I did my 88 racehead and the topend was night and day then, I sure yours will fill super fast on top when you get a pipe.

What size pipe do you guys like to run on your 108 7/8" or 1"?

doopsx3 · 11-07-2009, 05:28 PM

I got all my 107/108 stuff from Firepower.........he did all the mill work to my E22 and the bike is just friggin knarly

I told you man!!! haha told you you'd love it, now come to missouri and well ridee

haha

i put a 26mil carb on my 108, sooo much more power over the 20. get a bigger carb if youve got the money to spare, thought it ran good with the 20, and it did, it was just not running to its full potential

if youre needing an exhaust, i decided id sell that bbr bigbore exhaust ive had on my bike (the one with the gold can, in my profile album pics)...pm me if youre interested, its in really good shape

stevos50nuts · 11-07-2009, 05:39 PM
