Replaced gaskets, etc. on the F and R cylinder on my 97 WG. R cylinder is a little cumbersome. Have to replace 2 socket head bolts on the R rocker cover due to previous shops rounding out the head.
Can finally put it back together after having leaking fluid all under the bike and finding the inner primary cracked around the mainshaft.
Painted outer primary, cone cover, transmission cover to match inner primary (Harley texture paint $28/can).
Going though and finding little things to fix or make a tad better.
I feel like I need more motor. The cams aren't what I thought they would be. Other bikes I have cammed in the past seemed to wake up way more. I know I'll loose even more going to a short pipe but with a proper dyno tune maybe it'll be better. As of this point the bike is the same until I'm past 4k rpm then I wakes up a bit. I'm not impressed at this point.
That's too bad. I picked a low-end torque cam and I'm pretty happy overall, although I can really feel that 81hp, or not feel it I mean. 120/120 like @98hotrodfatboy mentioned sounds good, it's just got to kick in down low.

@Dynawobble problem is not the cams.. He's not hitting down low because the top end is all stock.. He did nothing to improve on compression.. The 555 cam requires at the minimum 10.2:1 compression. 10.5:1 would be even better..
Got one grip on last night Had so much sh*t to do since getting back from Cali. Tonight is the other grip and remove the rear tire to finally replace. If and that is a BIG IF I have some time, I might start to switch out caliper and rotor.

I ran the Wood 555 cams back when mine was a 103" and I felt the same way. It definitely made more power, but not where I would normally use it. I agree with what's already been said, more compression and/or displacement would solve the problem.
Here it is. I’ve got a spare glass and inner ring for it too just because I don’t know if you’ll be to get the current ones out without screwing them up.
Alright, it showed up late yesterday and I'll probably run it over to Zee's Customs this afternoon. It looks great except for the bezel. I might even have Jim do the LED mod on it while he has it...oh man, I'll go pull my speedo now and take them both over!
Got the rear wheel off last night to take it to get the tire replaced.
As you can see that tire served it's purpose for the last 2 years
Got the new rotor on. I was going to drain the brake fluid but didn't have the 12point socket I needed I will be grabbing that and brake fluid tonight. Thursday evenings agenda is to get the wheel back on, install TC bro's bracket and the Brembo P4 caliper. Gotta have the bike ready to go for Saturday's 600 miles
You can see my OEM caliper locked up and riding with a full case/music I had no clue.
