What's the SITREP on this?

We've got mayhem breaking out globally, maybe even soon nuclear and we need progress on this to stem the tide of destruction for all of mankind, not just Dyna riders!

What's the word, Thunderbird

Yeah. I'm starting to think you pawned your motor and just keeping us on a string until you can bail it out.

I built a whole bike in the time you're taking! .

I'm starting to think I don't have a motor anymore too haha. Trust me if I would have guessed this would be a 2 month deal I would have waited on starting the thread haha. I was banking on 5 weeks tops, tear down to start up

You'll be alright. In 2 months from now you'll be looking at new mods! That's how it works! (Maybe a ****ing wheelie bar is needed!)

Easily fixable. Block up the lower 3 fins with wood shims and make a wood wedge an tap it into the pinched area. That sux though!
