Make sure your crankcase breather bolts aren't completely plugged. That could definitely cause excessive pressure and give you blow-by.

Excellent choice. I was recently helping a buddy shop for his first Harley, and I saw that one at the Harley dealership in Fort Walton Beach.
In addition to having similar bikes, you and Ed Ard may be neighbors. I think he lives in Northwest Florida.

Yes. I live in Crestview. Think my son had a teacher named Ard about 10 years ago.

Dealer says the smoke should clear up soon. Something about sumping and moisture. Only being riden from from to back of dealer lot. For long time. Hope he is right.

Yes, I am in Ft. Walton and come to think of it, I DID see that bike there! I bought mine from the same dealer a couple years ago.
