I guess this is not a "new thread", since I have been pushing this issue for a few weeks, but it is a new question. I went ahead and bought the V-Twin conversion kit (along with the top end gasket set), so I am ready to go. This is not a plug for V-Twin, but having a machinist background I have to say I am very impressed with the quality of the product. Everything mics out to specs, and all the work is very clean.

I choose the black wrinkle cylinders with edge milling-- just wanted to make the mill look different from the HD product. So I am thinking about the heads. The stock heads are silver finished (and I think powder coated), and I am not too sure if I want that on top of the black jugs.

Thanks.
