Thank you for the pictures that helps a lot! Joe do you have any pics of the black jugs after the motor was assembled?

I was going to black out the heads and lower rocker boxes when I do heads down the road but looking at my black PR tubes now (Bitching) I think PC the lower rocker boxes but what looks really killer to me now is leaving the top three fins on the heads as is (my OEM the top three fins are machined).

Both rockers need to be black no matter what, big block head look is cool!

Oh God, ate so much today. Wife and I went to the Nevada border casino and had their Thanksgiving buffet, glutton fest was on

So then got home, weather warmed up a bit, took the gnarly beast for a spin , much better

Had some nice pics, had a video of the bike starting up and me rev'ving it up for the crowd, then I accidentally deleted it thinking it had transferred to the computer here

So no audio/video yet of the cams but they are a very welcome addition, much more power than stock for sure

So I just ran out and took these pics of the tubes. If just the lower rockers were blacked out I'd be happy. With chrome or shiny aluminum, less is more with a monotone background such as the black.
So the three polished/machined fins would to me be perfect, just enough pizazz against the black

Bike runs like a scalded dog should

Monster,

Here's what I did. I think it's a nice balance. I also have a charcoal bike with a flame paint job, so pretty similar.

Oh, and I would definitely do the primary, but that's just me.
