As many here know I refer to my 08 SERK as the "Bike from Hell"
A brief recap: At just over 3700 miles she had the cylinder liner issue the early HD 110 could have, leaking oil at the heads. Since the labor was going to be covered by HD, I had em make her a 117". I've have had to replace the speedo twice, the ECM , MAP sensor, various electrical issues, and on and on.
The motor has had to be rebuilt twice. The first time the hydraulic tensioners wore down sending particles throughout the motor. The tensioners may have assembled incorrectly. The second time the front cam snap ring broke with an "ear" from the ring wedging in the oil pump causing it break apart. That took out the cylinders, pistons, and crank.

Not sure why the compression is so much lower this time as Axtell matched the pistons to heads for each build. Perhaps the Rev Perf cylinders were a bit taller, pistons down the hole a bit? She was built by Bob @ Rat's Hole Place in Decatur, Il. Runs quiet.
