djl/max the real piston did have a little oily film on top of it which I was able to wipe off with my finger in a rag. Do you think a cylinder head valve seal was leaking or would that make it even worse carbon-wise. They had the same compression 150 psi. We'll see what Bean says tomorrow

 

Correction rear piston not real piston sorry.

 

So Bean is open on Independence Day?

 

Don't understand why a picture is difficult. I have taken them before with; just need the right light and angle.

 

djl Update on my 95 inch build. According to Big boys the ware in the cylinders was normal. I'm waiting on machine work now. I will keep you posted. I'm sure I'll have questions. Thanks again

 

OK, still tuned in.

 

Hi guys update on my 95-in build. I got the cylinders and pistons back. They look great. Heads should be ready next week. While I have it apart I want to change the lifters. Does anybody know a good lifter to use with a 510 lift cam. Thanks again for all the input.

 

Johnson Hy-Lifts from WFO Larrry; three configurations, all good; your money, you choose. I like the one with pin oiling but all three are quality parts.

I thought we had talked you out of the 510 cam? Unless Bean is decking the heads for more compressio, I don't think you will be happy with the 510. Of course you will at first because the whole motor is going to perform much better than before. However, once the new wears off, you may regret not choosing another cam or setting the heads up for more compression. CCP will be down around 175psi and should be about 190psi.

Keep the updates coming.

 

Hello everybody. It's been a long time since I've been here. Finally finished my 95 inch build, after about a million setbacks personal and job related. Out of state emergencies sold a house etc etc. Anyway went for my first ride yesterday. Bike runs good. I am breaking it in now. Thanks to everybody here for the help and advice appreciate it. Next up suspension upgrades. I guess I'll start a thread on suspension. I'm sure they've got a column somewhere on this board for suspension I'm going to look now thanks again in

 

Djl my brother will be down for bike week. I have a new lowrider St 117 M8. We will put them to the test Head to Head. Roll-ons light to light . I will let you know how the 95 in works with that 510 cam. I can hardly wait.
