Why you got a problem with me heming and hawing, that's half the fun.
If you would have some real input on the subject maybe I wouldn't ask so many questions. Besides, I just now got the cash to make it happen today.
Now, can you get your compression releases out of the back and front cylinders without removing the rocker boxes??? I do see that as a worthy concern.
PS, that's a bad *** FXR.
i will check to see whether or not I can access them manually while on the bike
in the slim chance that they fail, they are available from S&S
i tend not to worry about the "what ifs"... i own old bikes... a panhead, knucklehead, a few old shovelheads... lots more things to make you nervous than a brand new crate motor. I just enjoy the ride, ya dig?

I know you were bustin stones. I also know you can't get to your Cr unless they have the manual cable attached. My only question was can you remove the cr without removing rocker boxes? Guess I answered that too.
Crate motor or not I like to know what I am buying for my $5k..
dont know if the softail will differ but I can easily depress my compression releases with the tank on no clearance issues at all i didnt even burn my fingers

Now that's info I can use. Thanks. One of my Indys said he couldn't start for a month. Another said 2 weeks or so. Looks like a lot of hemm Hawing going to get done before its over.
The manual S&S cr are controlled by cable much like a choke.
