Is it me or are the engine cases (the castings) really poor on the sportsters? Granted moslty on the bottom and unseen part of the cases but ugly. I know its from the factory becuase its covered in black wrinkle paint no craks or leaks just poor castings. The dealer told me thats normal becuase their sand casted. I guess I am picky just wondering if anyone noticed? DL[:'(]

 

Yeah, I see it too. The later model cases seem to be better. We polish engine cases and have seen some that had large casting marks.

 

The way I see it, you just have to lean it over a little further in the twisties and you'll have it all polished up in no time!
