yeah I gave that a shot too. I think there's a slight bend in the flat surface of the cage that lays on the reeds. I probably should have tried sticking it in a vice sandwiched between something flat.

I didn't bend it! Not sure how it happened I've only owned it for about 2 years. My BIL did the AF conversion, I just noticed last year after redoing the top end that the reeds did not seat flat. I assumed it was the reeds and got new ones, but after installing those with similar results I see its t...

I'll probably have to get a vforce one now too

There was a gap of about 1 mm. And when I got home last night I noticed I do have a slow oil leak...seems t...

Anyone experience this before? I'm just trying to get some ideas as to where to start my search. Just rebuilt the top end and everything was great at home. Started her three times and everything seemed fine. Got out to Superstition this weekend and after a short time it started to surge at idle like...

Thanks...my BIL built this beast but its a little on the jerry rigged side and vibrates bad. I'd like to get at least the front mounts, they look real nice, and maybe the headstay though I'd probably prefer a double.
