Do y'all have a cam picked out yet? Hillside is one of the best out there, you wont be disappointed. Wonder if Scott will go with a 9F considering this is a dyna.... look forward to seeing your updates!
6500 rpm really ain't a good number for these big twins. Believe me I had a few motors come apart.
it don't matter who builds it.. Eventually it'll happen again if you beat it.. I've lowered my rev limit to 6k.
