Default NRHS Kit and Dan...
I want to give a big thank you out to Dan at NRHS for putting together a great 1250 kit (1250 cylinders, pistons, stage II heads, .536 cams) for my upgrade project. He patiently answered all of my initial questions even when I asked a couple of goofy ones....

The CNC porting/machining on the heads was absolutely stellar and the install turned out a bit easier than I originally envisioned. Only took me 5 hours from start of tear down to the first firing of the engine. (this included stopping to have T-bone steak lunch).

Thanks Dan for everything...and good luck on your Bonnevile project...

I am thinking of ordering the 1250 bolt-on kit for my 883. By the way WildThang, that is one kick a** looking bike in your profile pic.

Great products and great people. It took me longer than 5 hours, but that was my first engine work. I didn't do cams, just the jugs and cans. Was about 8 hours spread out over 2 evenings.
