I noticed on Larrysheps '06 America that the cylinder head cooling fins had been machined flat like they are on the Speedmasters... was wondering when that started.. 05? 06? first I've seen on an America.. or maybe I just never noticed it before.

They are not machined on Nancys 04 America.
Who does the Diamond machining on these?
Saw several in Sin City and looked bad as heck!!

I can do it. If you want to bring your bike down or heck I can come up there & do it. I have a die-grinder it can't be that hard.


we should do this every weekend!
