What should the compression be on a Harley Davidson Evo?
Discussion in ‘ Softail Models ‘ started by ausibatla, Oct 25, 2013 . G’day again fella’s.

What’s the compression ratio on a Harley Davidson Softail?
Most of the work went into the lower end, with an increase in stroke from 4 inches to 4 3/8 inches. This, in turn, increases displacement from 1,450cc to 1,584cc. Compression ratio rises to 9.2:1, up from 8.9:1. To reduce vibrations usually associated with stroked engines, pistons and rods were redesigned to reduce reciprocating mass.
