@wifimonkey thats good, cuz i've known a lot of occasions where people tweaked and modded their motors and then had problems. i was told by a mechanic that its because these motors arent designed to make a bunch of extra horsepower. theyre designed to ride and enjoy the way they are. if somebody wants power theres Ninjas and CBR's etc.

@wifimonkey I found out that when I connected the kit I shorted the unit out, replaced the unit problem fixed all is good.

@ivansuarex Heads and the Cams were just purchased from my local HD Dealer when I bought the 1250cc Kit. I had the Sleeves bored for the 1250cc Pistons due to cost was cheaper.

where did you get those heads ?? also the cams are for those heads, right ???
when you start monkeying with motor mods you open the door to breakage and maintenance issues. but it looks more like a saturday night bike rather than a bike for riding serious miles so you probably wont be far from home when trouble happens. i hope youre good at fixing it.

@vetryder Actually I've never had a problem with the bike I still have it, I've put over 20k miles on it since I did all of the "mods". Just rode it from FL to TN no problems.

@GCANDY100 I used a Hotrod Flat Paint and Baked it on. I had to completely disassemble the motor to do it. You can buy the Harley Flat Black in the Can online it works pretty good just just have to fix the chips every once in a while.
