Yeah, I haven't hit WOT or really taken it past bout 4000 RPM, mostly taking it easy. I can just tell the difference on take off and in second to third. Bike runs really smooth. Just try and resist the urge to goose it, haha!

That exhaust is the Screamin Eagle II I bought from Cvaria. Definitely a good sounding muffler set

I never double checked Hammer's work though I certainly could but I bet you a 100 bucks they gap piston rings to the high side of the tolerance.
Why ?
Probably 8 of 10 shops and 6 of 10 Joe Six Pack guys (Im gulity too) will not break in the conversion properly and take a chance of welding the rings !
Now they have Hammer on the phone ""hey man your parts are **** ! "
