Love my .675 EZ starts on my Twin Cam street bike.
I had to deal with heat soak re starts, starter and battery issues for years but not any more.

Paul,
I've got a set of those on the S&S plate/pump, never run, if you know of someone that may want them?

I Run 585 easy starts and really like them...only thing is when you come to a stop sign or light if your bike idles low it may want to stall out when the compression lobes want to close
