piston rings installed upside down

your down time too (I have one bike, so any work being done means cage time). Maybe they will throw in some gear too. Hoping you have another bike to get on!

The '05s had an issue with the valve seals, when mine at 20,000 miles started burning oil, Harley warranted the valve seals. As they were pulling off the heads I said HEY, you aren't putting it back together with those tiny little pistons. (88") I bought jugs, pistons and rings and ***** G paid the rest.

yes because cycle works is full of unsubstantiated stories trashing the moco...pretty sure cycle world lawyers would steer clear of printing anything like that. Pretty sure if it's under warranty and the op follows the correct procedure he'll make out just fine...I'd push for that 110 upgrade to by the way.

Ha! Sounds like the ol' MoCo's come pretty much full-circle back to the assembly and QC standards of the "AMF Days". I knew a guy back then who bought a '78 bike that didn't have much power, blew smoke and burned oil. When they tore into the motor, neither piston had any rings AT ALL!
The tech who worked on it wasn't all that surprised, either.

OP- Good luck with requesting a 110" replacement; that would go a long ways to compensating for the inconvenience.
