Shakedown run over. WOOHOO! No runs, no drips, no errors! And no noise!!!
I also have to say a little bump in compression was acquired as the cams came on a little sooner.

Can someone explain what the top end tapping/ticking is and on what motor?
And what the Rockouts do?

Gave up on being an audiophile, going partially deaf and blowing out 2 of the 3 amps I had in the tri amp system finally got to spendy to keep up.

Home theater now has a set (5) of JBL studio 38's with some minor mods and a SVS sub.
Yamaha receiver, Oppo CD player and assorted knickknacks from over the years, nothing on the WG though, not much for music while I ride.

Did finally remember I still have the stock tubes and if I can find them I should be able to see if I can cut them done a bit.

I have nothing good to say about the indians, they're netting spawning fish here and use the sovereign nation bullshit to keep doing it, but the BIA has spent billions on them.

Have a good day all.

Al

Al, basically there is loose tolerances between the rocker shafts and the rocker shaft support bolts allowing the shafts to rotate and slam against the bolts and create a tapping sound. The inserts create a closer fit and eliminate the tapping and the "sewing machine" sound.

Ear buds man. I use the $29 Sonys and listen to the music on my phone. Less wind noise, less roar from the pipes, I can actually hear the music, and (the big one for me) my head is not ringing like a damn bell at the end of a few hours ride on the slab.

John, This is the TOAK. Knowledge, humor, and nearly nekkid women (not necessarily in that order of course) is what we crave.
