Default ordered my hammer kit

with my suspension and all done only thing left to do is engine. gave them a call excellent on the phone as others have said
took time to make sure i got what i wanted and didnt try to upsell me anything. now just waiting

kit was very reasonable. as i just have a old carbed 883. just ur basic 1250 kit. pistons pre installed. even if you have experience doing piston rings for 40$ its well worth having hammer do it. full gasket set and 2000i ignition. i have jets and spark plugs so didnt need those. under 900$ shipped

sure will. yes i am a powersports tech.. shhhh but not trained for HD's i work on everything from Aprilia,bmw,ducati to yamaha but as i told Dan at hammer im no expert always learning and never been inside any HD so i have the factory manual and all tools. the only thing that always sticks in my mind is working on older stuff is broken/stripped bolts. i would rather work on something new as everything comes apart and together so nice. rusted, corroded fasteners can make a job run long and suck
