Alright, now that my hands are clean and I ain't stressing on seeing my bike in a bazillion pieces I can reply.
Dawg, the rubber mallet has already been called upon, but the stop sign?
WTF?!?!? You boyz are CrAzY!!!!
Soos and Ultra61, don't make me break out the camera and take more pics of the belly of the scoot. I'm thinking yall need to see some more of those shots!
Jerry, Ben and Joe, thanks for the well wishes! I'll take pics of the build as we go back with it. The builder is EXTREMELY meticulous and torques every single bolt to spec. This should be a very tight and well put together build, so hang tight, I'm stoked.
The build is somewhat conservative, but I "should" be at around 85hp and 110tq for about $500 bucks worth of investment.
I'm going with the SE255's, stock heads w/ Jim's manual compression releases, .030 Cometic gasket, having my own cylinders bored to 3.875 by a VERY reputable machinist, SERT, stock head pipes with the Supertrapp SE's. I chose to stay with the Supertrapps due to wanting to harness exhaust noise. I've always liked my Supertrapps tone and the boss lady doesn't want loud pipes.
My corrected compression should end up at 9:8.1 or 9:9.1 with a Cold Cranking Compression of ~207.2. Not too radical, but just enough to take a bit more advantage of my cams.
Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.
Now, I think I'm going to have to go clean the top of my saddlebag, looks like a spec of dust settled on it over night!
