I've known a junior marine engineer who managed to "save" a piston in a 6 cyl. diesel engine overhaul:fight1:

your project looks great btw, DJ.
 
Here's what I need if anybody has any of these items laying around their garage and wants to sell:

At least 28" or longer broomstick drag bar
original C50 front brake line
grips
aftermarket mirrors
pegs

I guess I'm doing it in reverse- debadging will be one of the last upgrades instead of one of the first.
 
Last night I changed the pilot jet to #55, main jet to a #152.5, added the K&N pod filter and put the carb on the bike. I then set the tank on top, hooked up the lines, primed the float bowl and cranked her up while she was still on the stand with no rear wheel. It started right up. The new sportster muffler sounds awesome. I should get my cutsomized rear fender back either this afternoon or tomorrow.

Oh, I also started on the seat mod. I found some 32" broomstick drag bars and ordered them.
 
Just got my rear fender back from the body shop. I had them close up all the holes on the side and where the rear tail light mounts. I'm putting on a cat eye tail light with LED turns on the side of the tail light.
