Chopper is reborn!

Some of you are aware of the oil consumption issues I had with my chopper when I bought it used. Previous owner installed a large cam and while it sounded very good it was out of spec for the stock heads and caused premature wear and tear and I was drinking oil. After a leak down test and a compression test I was reasonably assured that bottom end of the GM crate motor was sound. After the aluminum heads, a 600cfm carb and a "snotty" cam the chopper rocks!! I'm very pleased. I gave up a little power on the bottom to get a bike with attitude sound (as Els says) but the torque comes on real quick and then she rolls.
