I'm your twin brother on cleaning a bike. Lived in WA state for over 9-years in the rain and still had a clean bike. Yes, I catch hell.

...and I thought I was the only one! That's what I'm talking about...hence the blacked out preference.

I take it you have to upload pics to a host site before posting them on this site???

No you don't.
If you want to attach pictures here straight from your computer

1) You have to be in advance reply
2) Scroll down and hit the button that says manage attachments
3) On the top of the page that opens up you will see where to browse your computer for the picture you want to upload (hint the picture can't be much bigger than 1600x1200)
4) Then hit the upload button that is on the right

Thumbs up

Welcome AAAC to HDF and Evo land, from the UK. The confusion regarding your engine is understandable, as the 89" stroker kit was popular (I had one), also an 85" so-called big bore kit. The stock Evo was actually around 83", so the extra couple of inches was no more than a rebore.

It was possible to go bigger, but that usually involved using aftermarket cases, Sputhe and Axtell as well as S&S being known brands. So it is worth checking the cases, cylinders and heads for external branding, which if you have any will give a clue to modified inner workings. A compression test would also be interesting, for the same reasons.
