I have never seen that before. Thanks for posting and a great thread so far

Don't rack up a lot of miles, no touring and don't plan to - it is my "bar hopper" type bike. I have owned it for about 16 months and I have a little over 3800 miles on it. I love to twist on it though but no burn outs or drag racing.

Maybe I should just back off on the headwork and use a smaller cam with the 107"? Always liked the Andrews 54. Just thinking this thing out....

Allan keep the 590 w/o a doubt. Headwork is the key to the entire build. Keep it going as planned man, HP! accept no substitutes.

That looks real good man. It's gonna have marks, but mine was a bit deeper than I like and had some one the end of the crank too that John at darkhorse fixed. By the way did harley do away w/ the bronze bushing???? Doesn't look like there even is a bushing(is it very slim)?

Here was mine:
