hey thanks, I appreciate that. I originally had my heart set on a Lowrider S but the one they had there sold and so I got the FLSTFBS. I love it. I almost sent my heads off to be done. At the Dyno Tuner they did a leakdown and found that my front head leaks over 5% bad valve seal. Winter project as it's time to RIP my Ground pounder. Still pretty decent results. TTS-150 Cam put that torque down low. 110TQ at 200vand just climbs! Awesome the old But Dyno says Hell ya! And hold on!! GreatThread thanks a million

Going over this again because we're putting a 110 kit on my buddies street bob this weekend.... I gotta ask because I don't remember and you didn't mention it. Did the rings come gapped and squared? If that s how they come out of the box Monty is gonna be pissed I had him buy a $70 tool for this lol

lol I have a small tendency to get neckish during technical conversations. Sorry about that hahaha. What Im talking about is piston ring gap, and squaring the two end of the ring to each other.

Ring gap
Yes, always check ring GAP. Now adaysthey come in spec but I still have found a few that need it. Also each piston has aarrow showing front to back. Make sure they are facing forward. Use a rag to cover the cases below the pistons while installing cerca clips. They tend to be squirrely.

no worries lol. Figured that was the only thing you coulda been talkin about but wanted to be sure. Always check the gap and make sure they are placed according to the service manual. I was lucky enough that the ones that came with the kit were within spec.

Yeah i figured you had checked it, your ability was never in question. I just know some builders will gap your rings for you while your cylinders are setup on the torque plates. I was just curious to see if the moco had reached that level of convenience yet. It's good to hear that they were spot on out of the box!
