PM me and "i" will send you the up-date "INFO" you will need ...   Jcs64 Posted on Sunday, April 08, 2012 - 09:37 am:        good on you for getting the light working. It sounds like you may have just saved yourself alot of money in a rebuild. congrats!   Dannybuell Posted on Sunday, April 08, 2012 - 03:36 pm:        Orngm2 ~ great save!   Orngm2 Posted on Sunday, June 03, 2012 - 07:45 am:        Well it looks like i did not make a great save... took the rear cylinder apart for a base gasket leak and the piston and cylinder are scored, overheated from low/no oil!!! pulled the front piston and have the same thing. cyclinders will be bored and honed .010 over and pistons will be replaced. heads will be cleaned and new valve seals installed. also found the cap on the intake manifold test port was cracked, intake seals were bad. after all this i should basically have a NEW bike. Well count this one as another "SAVED" buell from the chopper block. pics and details to follow...
