Had to be a shaker being that far out ....

[Jakerz]

I thought Harley's were supposed to shake? How bad of a job is it to fix that? Taking that crank apart looks like a pain in the butt to me?

Going to wait till the new pistons come in...
Being this motor was built by S&S 17 years ago, there could be a difference of piston weights...
If I remember they was using TRW's back in that year, now it's Wiseco's ...
Will weigh them and make a call on what to do ....
Might need to re-balance em ... ??

[Jakerz]

So you weight both the pistons and then balance the crank to those numbers?

Jake

l'll weigh the old pistons then the new to see how close they are....
Most likely it would be a good idea to balance the flywheels anyways..
Those S&S rods are of the early design without having added weight made into the front rod recip. zone....

[Dragstews]

Heads & Cases are looking new, jugs needs are to be blasted and powder coated again ...

[Jakerz]

Looking good! How do the head look?

Really nice ... Seats & Guides are in great shape ... I was surprised to see em looking so well off...

[Jakerz]

Good deal, thanks for the update!

Jake

[Jakerz]

You think that motor would look good powder coated like this? Just gloss black, Jesse?



Just thinking lol
