Someone will get them. Or make them.

Time to get the kids settled in and read to them. Shuffle thing happens tomorrow. Sad that weekends are so short.

Theoretically but without flow numbers we don't know yet.

I realize the potential is there, but I doubt they went that free flowing on "stock" heads knowing the way Harley does things...

Tracy, judging from what I see in other engines, the 4 valve will probably out-flow even a good 2 valve by 25%-30%. With a lot less work. Lighter valves, etc.

That sounds great, although I will most likely never be able to experience it first hand as I will never own one. When I get my Heritage springer I am done buying motorcycles.
