Fun! Fun! I have the pistons set up on the loose side but ring gaps were good, figured it have some blow by but all has been good since I did the upper 3 years ago so I'll keep strokin.

I have an 89" ultima stroker kit in my 95 flht.
It is very reliable and runs like a raped ape.
It doesn't use any oil or leak.
