    Can you have a machine shop do a weld repair, any necessary heat treating and port both heads rather than replace the head?

    I'll end up sending the head to the Shop. But even if i switch to a 30 deg Squish band i still think it will need work. at least its only one head and not both.

    Not a price I was ready to pay while trying to sell her. Oh well, rebuild and shot for tens. Last passes were 11.3@117. Not bad for a Harley sportster you could ride daily

    Today I sold my Jeep project that I have been wrenching on for the past few years. I was sad to see it go, but now I can spend more time, money, and energy on my two Speeds. Hoping to have the race-prepped car ready to hit the track hard at the start of next season at the absolute latest.

    Got rear ended at a stop sign. Thankfully the damage was minor. Might need to replace my rear valance though... and my poor Mazdaspeed license plate frame is bent. I'll probably just replace it with a cheaper plate frame next time >_<

    Installed Corksport interior LED kit. Looks awesome, super bright, and really changed the mood inside.

    Looks more modern, and clean bright light.

    Yeah I have those as well, really makes the interior seem upscale. Pretty good upgrade for little money.

    That is impressive. I hate Harleys but a good time is a good time. What was your setup like?
