TP's and Mileage ?

[Relic]

I know this has been beat to death but was just wondering:

How many are still running TP's and what mileage do you have ? Also, what rocker conbination do you have ? Raywood is King but I was mainly wondering if there were other high mileage bikes still running them with no issues.

I'll start, Wife's 05 Chopper has TP's, 4,000 miles and TP rollers.

I have TP rocker boxes 2006 - K9, at about 20000 had to replace gasket under rear rocker box leaking and at about 28000 the front. gasket cost about $25.00 and were pretty easy to fix, a couple hours but thats because I took my time, can be done quicker. I now have about 30000 just road back from daytona a week or so ago. If you need parts or help with call ENGINEERING TOTAL PERFORMANCE they made them and very helpful 203-744-4960

I have a 2001 Wolf with 27000, and I average around 20 mpg. Although, I ride it like I just stole it. The best I have ever got is 30. It has edelbrock heads, TP rocker boxes, w/ Jims roller rockers and lifters.

06 K9 also....TP's 17,000 miles and no problems so far.

Still have the TP Rocker boxes but the valve train was change to S&S when I had the issue with worn valve guides a few years ago while still under warrenty. No issue since and about 25k or so on it.

Fibersnake, do you know if they put S&S rollers in it or Non-rollers ?

Thanks.

05-Ridgeback 13000 no problems

06 K9. I'm running TP's just b/c I'm poor and can't afford to change to the S&S's.

4500 or so miles.

Although poor and Big Dog don't seem to go well together ?

Have T.P's on my 05 with 22,000 miles.Still going strong knock on wood.

 

[Relic]

T. Bryd, have you taken the tops off to see what rockers you have ?

Thanks.

Relic, never had the tops off.

My bike has a tp107 with 13,000 trouble free miles. The low end torque is addictive, I called TP with some questions when I first got it and they were really cool to deal with. My mpg varies big time 40 if i'm chill or 25 if i'm not.

 

[Raywood]
