No I haven't even checked. As I stated in the beginning of this thread the performance aspect of my build was not my priority. If I wanted a screamer I sure wouldn't have a Harley. I would have bought a Hayabusa.

Harleys to me are an american icon. Built with beauty and pleasing Sound. Others on this forum do not share the latter with me but I really don't care. That is what floats my boat. Its my Harley it just has to please me....Not you. That is the appeal of a Harley..."Make it yours!"

Mine is slowly becoming what I want. I have focused on the engine more than the appearance so far. I have my fenders off now and I'm having custom fenders made. I am going to work on the outside of her for a little bit and then I may go back to the engine.

Been thinking I want more sound lol. More lope. Even been considering a carburetor to get closer to the classic Harley sound. Again, some think I'm crazy. I may possibly be but why else do I work so many hours if I can't have some type of pleasure in this life? Why can't I make my Harley what I think it should have been when it left the factory?

Oh and I forgot but I didn't mean to....

DJL I appreciate your advice and guidance that I very muchly needed.

Scott I appreciate the work you did for me and I will definitely return for more.
