I do remember a pic you posted of your (supposedly) bike laying on it's side, so you could measure available space for another bike.
If that's how you measure available space, I can't imaging you working on any engine....

. Not sure what pics will do for you. Call ask their prices. I was able to drop it off. If shipping I would find out prices to ship, and see if cheaper to go with S&S crank locally, if not doing timken.
They told me 4 weeks, then 6 when dropped it off, but had it in 4. $250 less than they told me, but obviously can't say would always be that way. Not sure if they give you worse case or not.
What sold me on Hoban brothers is when they said they build bikes for WI people, they want some extra speed, but want to ride to Sturgis.

So you are saying that the main reason you chose dark horse was because customers in WI could make it from home to Sturgis and back?

I talked to Fuel Moto, and they are top notch many people are happy with them, and sure everything they claim is true, but they are a speedshop. That is not what I was interested in. You can draw whatever conclusions you like.

One thing to note with CP pistons, there is no mark on the pistons for the directions. One valve indention is bigger, which should be for intake valve. Little disappointed not called out in instructions, that I noticed
