If there was more transparency in marketing there wouldn't be the desire to speak on other companies A customer should without investigating know who is working on their parts and where it's coming from. Then the customer is better informed and can make a final decision they're most comfortable with. If all details of business practices are transparent then there's no confusion. Some people care and some don't we all care about the final results and it seems there are plenty of satisfied customers all around. But clarifying the definition of "OUR products" is important to many people out there.

Have a good evening. Hope to read more post from you on here. Ones where you tell about some awesome builds you did and the great results. Not many awesome builders on here I would trust. You are one of them.
Not missing a single thing, pal.
You wanted to step right up and become a defense lawyer, and chastise us in doing so. I applaud your effort.
Do you really suspect your empty comments really have merit or carry any weight whatsoever with us in regards to our 30 years of Harley-Davidson engine building, machine work, and service work?
Please put your demeaning comments and rude remarks in a box, and save them for someone that will flinch, because your barking up the wrong tree here.

depending on how aggressive your build is & if run out is under .003 you should be OK to go with a milder 107" build.that said,addressing the crank would assure a strong build

So let me understand you and your harem. You can sling, but can't be slung at. Ok Scott, this conversation is done. I was trying to help you see how your negativity reflects on new customer business (such as mine). I won't respond anymore. I stated why I made my choice to chose a different vendor than yourself. Keep bashing the other vendors and see what choices other people make.

Local tuner told me to avoid hillside at all costs. I never understood why.

There are many great builders on this forum!!

All of them have Thier own advantages.... Scott backed up what he said when he gave me a very flat torque curve.

I hope everyone on here gets what they are after.. no point in anyone arguing with each other it's us against the EPA, the Japanese bikes, the police radars... big brother..

Scott has taught many people how to do work what to build and where to be.. respect him or hate him... man has been very successful.

Let's all get along.
