shot a pm of what ya got, and some of the specs. From what I've read, the stock 88 heads are a major hindrance to making power. Might be interested in the jugs too.

No prpb. Pay shipping. I'll send you pics when ready. Drank a bit much today . One set of cyl was still at 200 psi when I pulled them for crank noise.

Fine looking. You could probably sell some of those here, if the mods would let you. I should've brought more scraps home from the job, everything I had is used up already. Wish there was an aircraft scrap yard around here, aluminum and stainless bits come in handy.

I haven't really had any problems with Harleys in the wind, but gotta admit I've ridden some metrics that handled wind way better. I haven't ridden anything with a bar/fork mounted fairing that didn't feedback at least a little, though. I never felt Vetter and Harley sharknose fairings try to move the bike.

Reminds me, yesterday's ride, hit some taped over crack seal repairs on a corner yesterday, and that plastic chit is SLICK!. Front wheel slid out a couple inches before it caught again, made for an ugly wobble in the middle of the corner. Been a long time since I've felt that sickening lowside feeling, but it was there for an instant. That wunnerful Avon grabbed hard soon as it was off the plastic; that was a good feeling.
