Jason would have been glad to do the work for you but if your happy with the job done, just smile.
I hear way to many nightmare stories.

In fact, the whole reason I got into building motors was because of my own nightmare story... :shock:
After time and again having to fix what the professionals were suppose to do right I got sick of it.
Then, after spending several years on Kxriders and developing friendships with the right guys, I learned a lot of the inside details that just put icing on the cake of a K5.

The next big thing for us will be trans repair and micro polishing....
Can't wait... 8-)

Nice Work!
I thought you guys were gonna spin one of the engines around, weld the cranks and make a "V-Twin" :mrgreen:
Hey... Where did that Oleson kid go? The one who was building his own "KX5 Track bike" Maybe he could whip one of those up. :lol:
