Todays Update:
The motor is completely apart now. The new S&S crank came in. Boy am I glad we're doing this! I told you my crank runout was a total of .010" total, after measuring both sides on the truing stand! And man does that really suck!

The HD Tech also screwed up the cases at one of the studs too. I'm using new cases for this build, and now I'm really glad I did too! The new crank runout measures 0000" on the comp side and .0005" on the pinion side! That's what our motors should have in them. This is a Timkin only crank, and we'll be doing the conversion for it on the new cases.
Sending the heads, Axtell barrels, and CP Forged Pistons back down to Wes. He'll go over the top end parts and make sure everything is up to par. One head had a broken fin from shipping damage last time. I used it anyway, but wasn't too happy about it. Now he'll fix the damage before we use it again.
Wes will also make the CR595 cam in a gear drive for me. I decided to convert to the gear drive because Vern isn't to crazy about that chain setup. He said it's better than the old system, but still has way too much drag on it for his liking. I'm doing as he recommends.
The SM that took care of me at that new dealer quit already! He's back at the dealer I originally bought my bike from. So guess what? After all this, I'll wind up with the remainder of my 2 Yr W.....ty anyway! The engine from Vern, and the rest of the bike by HD (except the brakes and suspension)! How's that for irony!

More to come in the following days and weeks. I'll be there tomorrow and try and get some pics. I'll also be documenting adding the detachable paint-matched King TourPak with 6.5" Speaker Pods, the new Audio System (front and rear amps and speakers) connected to the Zumo 550 with XM/weather & traffic alerts, and the new Xtralights HID H9 Headlight.
But after all of that is done, THERE STILL WILL NOT BE A FAIRING!!! EVER!!!

This bike has become way more work than I could have ever imagined. But it's now become my mission to get it perfect. After all, nothing more important than Binx' comfort and safety!

Hoist!
