Great advice and I made sure I got this with the bike, only thing that sucks is my bike is a frankenstein, I just rebuilt the front forks which are from a 2006 fxst and my bike is a 81 fxwg, so I had a good time trying to search for torque specs. Id hate to buy another $100 manual just for that but luckily there are the Hdforums!

My fxwg currently in this state lol, waiting on parts, painted the frame, rebuilt the front forks with progressive monotubes, rebuilt the swingarm, had a crazy death wobble when i first got it and my front cylinder was smoking like crazy, so a full tear down was in order lol.

also got these heads with the cylinders, they do fit on the 3 5/8 cylinders but they are already ported, someone did a shitty job, the valve guide literally just fell out when i pulled the valve and it looks like a head gasket blew. So i wouldnt feel good running these, the heads that came on my motor are in much better condition. These would need alot more work and id rather buy std or sorenson performance heads, unless it was way cheaper to fix these. Im not looking to have a drag bike.

Bike is currently in this state, it was super sketchy to say the least, it had a crazy death wobble, front cylinder was smoking and the rear swingarm bushings were wrecked. Nothing like living dangerously........ totally kidding. So a full rebuild is in order, cant wait to get it back together.
