Talking Let the BIG BORE build begin!(PICS!!)
Well, after much deliberation on whether to tear into my '07 Ultra or not, since not many hands other than mine have touched my baby, I decided she needed MORE!!!

I did cams 2 weekends ago and decided if I was going to have it dynotuned by a highly regarded Tuner named Ed Dahir, then I'd have to compliment his work and bring him something bigger than a 96 incher! LOL

The tear down officially began yesterday evening and working very cautiously and tediously to protect paint and chrome we started taking it apart.

Complete tear down should happen by this PM. More pics to come!

Nice lift! Sure beats doing it on a cold concrete floor! Stop sign post and a rubber mallet come in handy as tools!

LOL, I think he had to tape the underside of the tank so he could touch it to lift the tank off.

Remember this is the guy that shows off the "Bagger Brace" installed w/ the underside of his sled cleaner than.... Well you get the idea.
