Taking my bike to a shop on July 1rst to have the light kit installed. I have a friend who has a shop, he's open on saturday's but doesn't usually do work other than ordering and taking in drop off's. But if i give him a heads up he has his mechanic come in and do the work for me, i know the mechanic too. When i lived near the shop i would go every saturday for almost 3 years. I've been on riding vacations with them. Good to have those kinds of friends, plus they're all good guys

I can confirm that it is drop in/plug and play. Super easy install and I am very happy with it.

What engine guard is that? Looks awesome.

Thanks! It's a BR's Custom Bars 1.5" Eagle Wing. I don't see it listed on his site anymore though...

Both pistons are hitting the head in the same spot, pistons and heads are on their way back to machine shop. If I ever get to ride this year it will be a miracle.

The Machine shop/head porter I'm working with is saying the crown of the piston was machined incorrectly. His first response was "I've never had a problem with this combo" later that afternoon he called and told me he went and got a set of pistons off the shelf and tried them on the same heads I have and they made contact too. Apparently I got the first set from this batch. He's gonna make it right but he is in Florida and I'm in Ohio so it's gonna take some more time.

Dang, good luck Chuck. At least they're gonna make it right without pulling teeth. Or maybe punching teeth?
