Looks like you cats are having some fun ! Just curious if you checked the run out on your crank before removing it ? If so was it within specs ? Although i hear the specs keep changing?

ya we checked the run out, it was spot on, no play at ALL! but i am still going to have it welded, do not want to have to open the bottom end if i do not have to again.

for cams i am going with andrews 37, my heads are getting completely reworked and will have compression releases, brass valve guides and a bunch more, but yes they are also going to be done

I am too vain, i love my pipes, and with how my bags are set up not many 2-1's will work, so i am keeping my exhaust how it is. I will however look into the roller rockers. thanks for the tips guys!

Yeah, it kinda blew my mind. We did have it all tore down, just the bottom end in the bike. That might have screwed up our measurement to some extent. Larry will check it on the trueing stand and make sure its all good!

I don't think JRK was there (don't remember), but the last time I was out for a ride with Red, we all hauled *** out of a light... and the mini-van behind us kept up with us, no problem.

It's a blast when you do it yourself. Having been there I can only imagine the smile this build will put on your face. What compression are you targeting for your build??

Nice. If I had that bottom end apart I'd have to go bigger than a 95" man suck it up and stoke it! Nothing better than firing her up after major heart surgery.
