I'm guessing 115hp/115tq based on the heads, cam, and CR. Had a similar build in a 2010 Road King.

Ok, fueling cam plate,pump and tman cams are installed. Went with the Wood Alpha lifters, cylinders and pistons are installed, clayed up clearances are good. Now if i can just find my missplaced hardware, imcan install my compression releases and get the heads in and torqued down. Starting to get excited about it. Heads cc'd at 83 accordingb to the sheet from Kirby and pistons are showing a flat deck.

No offense but wouldn`t it make sense to have Kirby do the C/R machine work prior to installing valves ?

Nice build up and updates, keep them coming.

Kirby did do all the head work , we had communicated on the build prior and he also had the pistons and it's something he's done quite a bit of. I do all my own CR valve work it keeps my costs down, since I have the equipment and experience to do it, saves me 100-150 depending. I bought the Jig/Tool a while ago before I started using Kirby do do my headwork, in order to correct some other issues with bikes that were coming in to me. i'll try to get combustion chamber pix later, but nothing out of the ordinary for the Stage2 headwork. Just got to do the final clay, torque it up and get ready to put it in. Also doing a 6-speed conversion, so i'll have to make sure about my primary drive alignment.
