Attached a completly opposite breakin article http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

We are instructed on a big rig diesels to assure of oil pressure, no leaks and load the engine as soon as possible to build heat in the cylinders, chrome moly rings need heat and pressure to seal, this came from Cummins and Cat engine instructers. Different creatures but have aluminum pistons and chrome moly top rings, Is this best for a Harley, hell I don't know.
not a totally different animal, but biggest difference being is, well compression lol, and moly rings need heat to become pliable to seat, where as a cast ring will almost seat immediately.
