Well I had to find something to do while I was waiting for the machine work to get finished. So I removed my fairing and took off the inner panel and prepped it for the paint work. I taped off the four gauge openings wanting to leave them black and painted it amber whiskey and put 3 coats of clear on panel. The gauge openings look great with their white faces with the chrome rings against the black contrasting on to the amber whiskey. Also installed a set of Rock outs into both rocker arm supports.

I have the 2.5'' baffle also, frank recommended the 3'' baffle on the 124
Wes designed this new 660 cam to improve on the torque in the bottom end and keep it there through out the power band. . after seeing what it did with a set of stock cast heads on the 110 motor they setup. theses 110 heads that wes setup for this build should be a torque monster. he kept the port velocity high on theses heads with correct size valves and port work. tj316 is running the 3'' baffle in his dragula and it did not hurt his torque on his build!
