Making progress, engine is about all back together.For the eng black out kit, you have to order the lower rocker boxes separate. I screwed up and only ordered [1] and they dont come in a set. I opt to omit them and leave chrome, I think is was a good choice.
Check out the piston ring instructions, whats wrong with this picture?
Really diggin the trans cover with the six speed emblem, and the wheels aint bad either.

I have no idea. I assume it's whatever the MoCo does before it ships. But it's better than 60 miles from the showroom floor where one has no idea what the bike has been through from test riders.

Looks like 7 miles is the norm, that's what mine and others have right off the truck.
My new ride is still getting its make over. I am too damn excited to get it done, hopefully today as tomorrow is snow in the forecast.
Motor work is done, Front end black out was done yesterday. new bars and back wheel is scheduled for today.
Mechanic likes to put about 10 miles worth of test ride, today will be a good day for that.
Not that Im going for a ride anytime soon, weather is **** here right now. I just want to get my new bike home and get to know it. coming off a Road King, this Infotainment stuff is new to me. I need to start turning them ***** and see what they do.
