Lets all here the horror stories out their that some have come across in their search of the big builds with these so called mechanics who take our money and run if you know what i mean.:x
do it myselfusually mind my Dyna was used on a demo day so people could see how an engine was built and i got it done cheaper

As for your engine builder telling you not to ride 98 miles is appalling if his workmanship and parts and/or customer service is that bad then they are in the wrong business - im hoping i am wrong and he put right any and all faults
I got one for you what about you get your bike back from the builder and after 4 days you brake down on the highway in the middle of the night and you call him and he tells you that traveling from maryland to richmond,va
[98 miles] was not a good idea.:newsmile030:
Years back I made the mistake of having an engine build done by an INDY.
I let Bubba build my engine. NEVER again.
Any engine work I have done now will be done by someone with a real shop, that has been there for YEARS, that has people working there that have been there for years.
That have had more training than what they learned by the seat of thier pants.
It is worth the few dollars more you pay for a real pro than what you save with a Bubba.
Now this is gone upset a few but I know a lot of Hd riders and The two biggest cause of early failures and poor runing rides are people doing there own engine work and thise that let bubba do it.
I am amazed at little trouble I have with my bikes sense I laid down the law on who touches it.
