Aw man, ouch! Do you plan on trying to score a proper rear head for your ride to give to your machinist? Perhaps you could possibly find one on eBay, or can your machinist do a work-around with the existing head to put it to correct spec for your bike?
That's the sort of crap that takes all the fun out of doing engine work! Keep us updated...
He mentioned he could port the older head but it has almost 0% chance of having the same flow as the front unless I sent both to get CNC ported, which I am not in for. I did find a rear head from an 06 off of Ebay so I should have the replacement next week. I'm in no rush, but a little expense I wasn't expecting.

Glad you found a proper '06 head; I wasn't sure if the older head could be salvaged; heads are just about the only thing I send out to a 'real' expert They're tricky bastages to get right...
With winter upon us in the north it's a good time to find these problems and get them corrected before spring; now your ride is going to have the correct heads and get a bit of machinist lovin' at the same time
Went to HD Swansea today cos my shift peg rubber is worn at the edge. Wanted £12 for a new peg when all I need is the rubber. Went home, took off the peg, reversed the rubber and fixed back on. Job done! When that side wears, I'll get a new peg, I suppose. Unfortunately we get to pay high prices for spares in the UK due to shipping. Still prefer Harleys though!
Working on repainting master cylinder. Almost ready for paint. Found some trim paint at oreilly that someone on the forum reccomended. Nothin to loose will see what it looks like.

When the "new" rubber wears down, just get a piece of fuel line and slip it over the end of the shifter. Buy a foot long piece and you'll have 10 or so extras!
Pulled the battery out of the Wide Glide; it's 18 months old but I wanted to put in the Yuasa GYZ20HL anyway. Took it to a friend of a friend for his ride today; he's in a bad spot right now, he did a few rides with the group this past summer and that original battery in his ride is gone.
Doing what I can with what I've got; need to keep him in the wind...
