I am updating this old post regarding my ’96 Springer. I decided to have the top end rebuilt by a well-respected shop. Trailered the bike up last weekend, and it should be ready sometime this week. Cylinders looked good, so just a hone and rings. Heads received new valves, guides and seals. The old cam is being replaced with an Andrews EV27 and new lifters. I'm looking forward to getting her back so that I can continue with planned improvements, and will post pics as I proceed.

I trailered her home this afternoon, with just 12 miles on the rebuild. 
Now to chip away at the break-in before getting into wiring my bars, replacing tires and installing the black tins.

Is the bike still broke?
Why did you trailer it home instead of riding it?
Looks good BTW.

Leaky base gaskets shouldn't matter on a ct unless the rings went missing completely.
