1997 and the dealer sold me the kit for $630.00. 9.5 to 1 screaming eagle piston / ring kit. harley cyl. and gaskets. looks exactly the same as before which i think is cool. does not run the same which is also really cool. unbeliveable torque. still don't have pics figured out on this site, not really trying.
