Yes I did and they looked pretty good, I'll have to see if I can remember to take a picture.

Mine look good through a bore scope, the oil analysis was clean but was concerned about the suck back off the drilled Cat. I don't believe with the lift and duration of that stock EPA cam it is going to be a problem.

I just hate to throw something out on a foum that would cause someone to mess up their engine. From all indications the drilled cat is causing no problems, Trike also runs good and cool so not sure if I am going to go with the catless headpipes. Maybe next winters project!

The drilled cat, XIED's and 11 gear seem to be a good poor mans tune!

Cuts way back on the Harley Tax and leaves you near stock if you want to go back!

I believe the folks with the 11's are onto a pretty good thing, just a little heat management and their styling. Here is a quick picture of the cyl.

Nice! The walls look good! I always thought we got a lot of oil splash on the pistons once we got em cooled off a little. It's the heads that take the beating!

good luck with the build!

Rubbing it in again, you know we smoother over your home grown mechanic.
Good thing he caught that bone head fix the dealer put on that compression release. Imagine if you guys had been on the road and that thing gave out. Hang in there, spring is just around the corner!

What you really don't understand he is just a chip off the old block.
