Bout 18k on the bike and new motor has around 6k since rebuild. I was expecting that to happen and chanced it.
If you ride hard w/ a built motor I highly recommend getting a new basket and clutch setup. I got real lucky....could have ruined the entire inside of the primary, locked up the rear wheel, bent/snapped the crank, and caused a major accident.

TINCUP - HA, that's a good jam for sure. Gonna have to add that one to my playlist.
PILOT - definitly a worth while investment when you're in there and your motor is built. I keep kicking myself in the *** for not doing to when I did my clutch, but funds weren't really there to drop $1k.
I got the S&S race and still waiting for the basket to come in along w/ new gaskets. I'm also going to gloss powder my inner primary by the Powder Pro. I'll post pics once I have everything and start assembly.

I'm going to powder the outside of the inner primary for looks..... Not the inside. Since I have it off now I might as well. At a later time I'll powder the outer primary cover because that one is real simple to get to.
I think it will actually look cool having silver engine, gloss place inner primary, then silver outer primary.

ok, so i gotta question
I love my FXDWG, somehow the best bike ive ever owned. cant really explain why, these things are so f'ing primitive there funny. my question is, So after you pin it and launch will the tranny allow you to keep grabbing gears with wide open throttle? or are you simply doing 2nd gear "launches" and its over when it rev's out?
