S&s makes a tapered race that prevents walking for newer style bikes that may just be the ticket

Yah I knew about the S&S race, but wasn't aware that it fits the newer twin cams. Gonna check that out.

EDIT:

Looks like the fitment stops at '06 ('05 for dynas).

Baker was going to develop the one piece IPB for the 08-newer mainshafts but then realized the real issue was with the primary chain auto tensioner. Mark said with that thing making the chain so tight it would eventually destroy even the strongest bearing. But yea I wish they would get on it and make a one piece for us

Sorry, I can't find where you said which Primary Chain Tensioner you were installing?

Thanks

My bad suede, it was in a picture a while back but I don't think I ever mentioned it. I'm going with the baker attitude adjuster

No, no, my fault, I know you said it somewhere but with this thread getting so big and me being sick as a dog (getting better I think) I poked around for it but gave up.

Good deal, thanks.

Saw the clutch basket bearing at Surdyke.com for $71.41, but no free shipping until $199.

Got my thunderheader back today! I sent it out to have it black ceramic coated. For $110 I'd say it looks great! I had them do the flanges also, most people probably won't notice that but it always bugged me.
