Slick will be an intercooler, and maybe a little more humility with the fuel screw. I am having issues with EGT's... I can easily punch it into the 1200's and above.
Got some new pics.... sorry, taken right at dusk.

Honestly, I am not crazy about the way that the front got wider and "squatter" looking. I think part of the appeal of the front end is the "highboy" look, which the wider wheels sort of kill, and...
So, polvorone, the tires themselves (at 45") will boost your top speed from 60 to around 72. Think about it - they are 20 percent larger, so will allow you to go about 1/5 faster.
yeah, cat, with a 2800 loaded redline RPM. .695 transmission. 45ish" tires.
I have a theoretical top speed of somewhere around 85.... Way too fast for anyone.
Bjorn,
On flat concrete roads, my deuce is stable up to 70. The issue is rutted asphalt roads - chains are all but mandatory on the roads in question for a third of the year, and that takes a massive toll on the road surface. This is what really kills the deuce.

Well, shims shouldn't be any...
Hey guys,

Ach, My reply got axed.
I have the DXF's - you may need to trim the OD, but I'll pass em over. They're straight cut at .760 holes for lug nuts (not acorn seat), so that may be an issue as well if you want to run nuts in. I could care if the lugnuts score the rims (which they will, again, not...
Hey guys,
I got my new wheel centers back from the waterjetters last night. I still have to locate them into the wheel shell and weld them, but I'm pretty close.
