Will have two of the 113 builds done here soon, you need to take a road trip. we can go for a spin :vrolijk27:

I'm all in as soon as we get up and running and this weather starts cooperating.

Maybe you have some place in Texas where we can stretch our legs ? :coolblue:

Ed, just wondering what kind of progress you have made? Been to cold here to do anything but hide under the covers :sauer055:

David, (since my last "evening update")

We hit a little snag as the oil control rings were bent when the box was opened :nixweiss: The boys at Oasis are getting some replacements, and should ship the cases, cylinders, pistons, Fueling cam plate / oil pump, Red Shift tensioners, and T-Man 625s, to Heritage Cycles HD this coming week.

Hopefully, Heritage Cycles can install the S&S Crank and get the bottom end together and we will be waiting on the T-Man heads / SE 58mm ported TB.

T-Man contacted me today with an estimated ship date of 3/7 aarrrggghhhh!
(All the good head porters have about the same lead time though)

Last week we sent the HK to Iron Cross Audio to have their new Bluetooth receiver installed.

The weather has been crap here, one day 65*, the next day 30* and back again, mixed with icy rain and sleet. 'Hope to get down to the Keys soon for a bit of a break from this...

'Have been sneaking some time in on the '05 SEEG  :cherry:

Stay Warm, My Friend...

Still sounds like the build is going well. If you pull it off with just one small snag that would be quite a success.

Weather man says we should be above freezing either Thursday or Friday so maybe I can get a spin around the block then.

Enjoy the warm and the 05

Evening Update;

Still having some ring issues, Pistons and Bores have been triple checked, everything is right on the Money, kinda has us all scratching our heads, even the Manufacturer. Everybody in on this is some of the Best Pros in the Business, I'm sure that they'll get it figured out.

The Heads / TB are working their way towards the front of the line...

Hopefully Santa will get here in time for Daytona???

David,
The way it was explained to me, the 2nd rings are not sized properly for the pistons, the compression rings and the oil control rings are good to go. They have fitted up several sets and measured everything, and still not satisfied with the tolerances (hence their conversation(s) with the Manufacturer).

That's one of the reasons that I chose Oasis, I know them to be very meticulous.

"These Boys ain't playin' I heard they quit grade school, 'cause recess was too long"

'Working on the parts list from hell... LOL

'Gotta go check on "The Ball & Chain" as she's washing the '05 & the '01 today, so that I will take her for a ride ~ almost 70* today.

Ed

"Afternoon Update"

Since the 4th or 5th set of new rings didn't fit properly, the pistons, cylinders, and rings are now on their way to the Manufacturer :nixweiss:

I really appreciate the "Yes, we are Building a piano" mentality of the guys at Oasis!

Ed, I hate to hear that for you, but that being said there is a lot of value in doing it right and only doing once.

I really appreciate the "Yes, we are Building a piano" mentality of the guys at Oasis! These guys know that my primary concern is a durable Sport Touring Motor, and that we feel that the finest components presently available are being used :2vrolijk_21:

'Sure that the Manufacturer is scratching their heads on this one also. 'Am curious to know what their solution is?

Already faced the fact that the '09 is not going to make it to Daytona this year, due to T-Mans lead time on the Heads/ TB (TR was upfront about it, as were the other Porters that I spoke with ~ they are all about the same lead time.) No big deal, as the '05 definitely knows the way :cherry:

T-Man probably does, but he sources from Wiseco as well...

From what I gather at this point, it's a manufacturing issue... :nixweiss:
