The RINGS as or more important than a ton of other crap,
as it is free Pwr with a LOT less heat.
There is NOT one reason to use old school high friction rings anymore.
I call standard drag 3-40 lb rings aunt Tillies.
They are junk.
I read where even car manufacturers have gone to low drag stuff and why not?
You asked for opinions -you have mine.
If you have the heads off you should be able to tell what kind of friction you have going on in there.
At this point it is real EZ to cure.

Hey all. Getting ready to complete my install and wanted to lean on the experience here to help me see what I have overlooked.
Bike started out as a 2014 Road King. Love this bike. Decided to convert it to a Street Glide when I found a screaming deal at an insurance auction. Frame was cracked and bent so they totaled it out. Everything else was 100%.
4015 miles on the bike. So I stripped all the good stuff and am selling whatever's left that I don't need.
Had the plastics and tank painted to match. Ran the FLHX wiring harness and began building the motor. Am going to swap the front end and bolt up the ABS pump and module. Touchscreen radio connected to the Wild Boar SG audio system already installed.
What I've done so far:
S&S 117 big bore kit
Darkhorse bottom end including:
Revolution Performance Monster head package:
Feuling roller tappets
S&S adjustable pushrods
Evolution Industries compensator eliminator
Baker 1.5" oil pan
Baker Primary Chain Tensioner
Throttle Hog 58mm throttle body
Fueling 5.3 g/s injectors
Trask 58mm a.c.

and that's it... so please, help me punch holes in this build. What am I forgetting?? What did I overlook??

Set them and forget them. Sort of like gear driven cams. Ask the long term, professional builders and see what they recommend. Look at any tappet noise oriented thread and see what the solution was.

You should ask for the engine Spec Sheet' so you know what they set the squish at, CC at, the everything at, What your actual CR is.
Piton weights,blah blah.
balance at (percentage where )
This will be NP if they do engines all the time.
I just dont trust most shops.
If they put in low drag rings the spec sheet will say what the pull is .
