Default The bike is finally done!!!!!
I just talked to my mechanic and my bike is complete and vibration free!!! He said his helper is cleaning it for me now! He is having a small problem with the cranking tho. He said it clicks a couple times before it fires up like a bad connection. He is gonna fix the problem and call me back in a little bit so I can come get it hopefully. I'm kinda thinking that the battery may be weak since its been sitting up for 3 months now and its a fresh motor so its tighter to start im sure but Im like a kid on Christmas day right now just waiting on that phone call so I can finally ride her again!!!! I will post the dyno numbers in a few days. Cant wait!!

It was the gear on the crank and it runs like a sewing machine now. Darkhorse did the bottom end and man its smooth now! I can tell a difference in power for sure with the cams and 95" top end. I have got to put 500 miles on her so I can put it on the dyno and tune it so I can let her loose and see what she will do!
