What To Do With A Spare Engine

[msocko3]

Happened to have a spare twin cam laying around from my 06 Ultra Classic so I decided to make it a center piece of a table. My dad built the table which only needs me to get some glass cut and put on top. Built it large enough for putting knickknacks on the bottom and maybe some LED lights.

It would probably look good in a "man cave"!

If you really don't want it just ship it to me here in Independence Mo. Been wanting to buid a trike from frame up. Just need a motor to start with. Free of course. LOL

I've actually grown attached to the engine. It has carried me through the New England states twice, on a trip to South Dakota and numerous other road trips and shorter vacations. All these trips while making 104 hp and 100 ft/lb torque without a single hiccup, it never stranded me. On the trip to SD it run along for hours on end at 80+ mph in 95+ degree heat with no issues. My average fuel mileage was 43+ mpg, guess the old adage of modified engines getting terrible gas mileage and being unreliable kind of went out the window with that build. I'm in the process of building a 120 from the ground up and expect it to get fuel mileage in the 40's and take me anyplace I want to go without failures.

Well, I guess that is that, a table ornament it is. Congratulations on having a thing of beauty occupying your home.

Just ordered the glass for the top and some LED strips for some accent lighting. All I have to do now is find some other decorations to place around the engine, will be visiting a pretty good sized HD dealer next week.

Every table deserves an exhaust.

Now, that is really COOL!

You need to be able to start it for when those long winters get you down. You can at least hear the rumble.

Love the table, but I would be looking for a bobber frame.

That would put me in dutch with the wife, not to mention it would be very loud with those short little pipes.
