You guys might be interested this engine.It was done in 1981 by a very reputable individual back then...short miles since then and we took it apart in about 2000.Everything was delightful so I put the lower back together then and it sat until now.Barrels were fab at .02" . The heads however suffered the cop bike "machinist" of the day treatment. Complete rebuild of the cylinder heads was mandatory here.Im a itchin to get the spring compressor out.Awesome forum guys.

Looks like a good rider.

FLT fork lowers is different - the torque multiplier is a great piece but sometimes using it you need to grow a third hand and arm
