Big Bore Kit

[Rylan]

The best cam is the Lloydz 504. They quit making it recently. Call Lloydz and complain about the lack of a good big bore cam. One or two more complaints and I feel he’ll make another batch! In the meantime the Lloydz 501 cam is a good alternative.

Lol… I’m talking to them now about their variable clutch! I will add that in

Didn’t Lloyd abandon his 116” big bore kit? If so, it only makes sense, in his mind, to also abandon his big bore cam.

So glad Revolution entered and still makes their 117” big bore kit.

[Rylan]

As I type this Lloydz is still making big bore kits. If you read this next week, or next year, then 🤷‍♂️

[Christopher]

I did the same.. I emailed revolution and they said yes we do.. I emailed llyods in reference to their lock up clutch and mention they didnt do the big bore kit so I’m going with revolution… nothing from them.. like ok then…

Have you started your 117″ big bore project yet? Just curious as I want to do the same to my Hard-Ball. Also, what are you doing with your clutch? From what I was taught, the Lloyds Variable Clutch is needed with a big bore. Does Lloyds even still offer his Variable Clutch for Victory?

Yes, Lloydz is still selling that clutch (March 2024).

[Christopher]

My big bore project is going on next winter… just saying it’s still out there. The variable clutch llyods offers might be in stock now. They told me to hit them back up this week or next as they were out of stock currently.

I tried to buy the Variable Clutch this week. They said no, you need to send in your clutch basket and primary cover. And that only Lloyd can assemble them. I said I only wanted to start collecting the parts now I know I’ll need when I’m ready to start the actual big bore build. Nope, no sale.

[Christopher]

Yea yea yea… so they have to gut out the inside of the primary and cut a groove in the basket that’s why they take the 2 (FYI my stake nuts are on back order right now). But it is a 2 week turnaround… so not that big of a deal. What’s the hold up?

I’m ok with the two week turnaround. I just wanted to buy the variable clutch to have it available later. Later being when I’m ready to send in my clutch basket and primary cover. Next year, or whenever I’m ready, I don’t know if Lloyds will still be making their variable clutch. The clutch basket and the primary cover are the easy parts.

My mistake. I should have just called Rylan. Someone who still does Victory full time.

[Rylan]

The variable clutch is a modification of your existing parts, not a standalone part in the traditional sense.

If you want to have “one on the shelf” you’ll need to buy the core parts – basically the $200 hub and a spare primary cover. I keep cores here if you want to work with me, otherwise a two week turnaround through Lloydz would be considered quick.
