I waited to long and Jim's source for 1.6 core bits was out.  I have been in search and settled on one from ebay.

A little more money than Mcgillis but not too much diff once you add shipping.

Hope it helps.

I'm drillin' tomorrow and if all goes well I could probably take it with me to the in-laws in Annapolis on Sunday if that would work for ya...you'd be on your own from there though

Sorry to hear the other guys ran out of the bits.  I bet they had a huge run on them.  The 1.5" looks like it will work.  Glad you found another option.  I'll look around and see if I can find another source. 

[planenut]

keep the great info going,sounds like a used market for bits only used onced

[tdowell65]

I would love to have one of those bits be willing to pay your price just so don't have the hassel of digging around.  They don't get too dull with one drilling though do they?

I hope to get the bit today or tommorow.  I will get back to you with more info once I use it.

Jim,
got my bit today , can I remove the cat without a Power Commander tune or should I wait until I have all parts in place ?

Congrats on the bike!

Sure you can remove the cat without a race tune.  I ran mine quite a bit without one.  The O2 sensor will take care of the changes below 4000 RPM.  Just try to keep it below 4K RPM.  Above that the system goes into open loop mode and it may be too lean with a significant exhaust change.

Also, upon actually reading the description, it says they are WET cutting bits. Does this matter?

Yea I saw that too, based on what Jim wrote I am planning on drilling with frequent stops.  I may use some "thread cutting oil" to lube the bit.  I really dont have an answer yet.  When the bit finally gets here I will let you know how it goes.  They are talking about useing water to cool it when cutting into cement...I think.  It only needs to work once and I will be happy.
