atrain, guys like you are the reason this forum is so good. I know you'll do a great job on the write so thanks for taking the time to do so. This place seems to have been pretty dead lately, that being said, I hope others will take time to do good write ups this winter to keep pathetic people like me entertained and informed 
. Anyhow, as far as the build goes, have you given any thought to the lower end? IE crank or timkens for the crank and who are you considering for headwork?

I like to get on it every once in awhile, but most of my riding is pretty moderate. I guess I need more input from the forum.

Dave, let me know how you like those 5-6s. I think that cam is going to be a wild man.

I made a decision not to upgrade the crank on this build. After speaking with a couple of vendors on the subject the consensus is crank work is unneeded for this kind of build. Is crank work good insurance? Yes. Is it insurance you might need to use? Well, that's a judgment call. Like most here I'm pretty obsessive about my ride and my projects. Let's say I won't lose any sleep on this decision.
My tear down is complete and everything is getting shipped to the respective vendors for work tomorrow morning.

Update: I went with Fuel Moto's 107 kit and Big Boyz head porting. Based on my goals and budget I think this combo is excellent for this project. In my write-up, I will have some editorial on the selections.
Jamie shipped my parts yesterday and it will probably be a couple weeks for the heads to come back. In the mean time, I will continue to polish the write-up with what has been done so far.
