Sad, scary news.  I recently finished a book, "The Heat Will Kill us First" by Jeff Goodell.  He wrote "The Water Will Flow" in 2017 about the threat of floods to  this book.  Reality is climate change is constantly changing.

Funny. Spell check doesn't like your spelling of favorite.

I'm still in that phase of parenthood where getting anything on the calendar means booking a couple of months out, but I figure that it'll at least be ridable weather by then.  Got my Monster out on Friday and it was glorious.

Forecast is for partly sunny with a high of 28⁰ F.

I'm just wondering how many inches of partly sunny we'll get.

Good morning

Morning 

Really dragging ass this morning.  Feels like I never left the jobsite.

Heading to VT for last week in February.  Looking forward to the time off.

Maybe the issue is with maintenance and upkeep?

That could hold a LOT of M80's! Can you imagine.....

Just spotted this. Nice project.
Used some new Ferracci 750 pistons a few years ago, good to hear they're still available.

Carefully clean/flush out all the oil galleries in the 800 parts.
+1, 800 heads are an improvement, so treat them well. Maybe treat them to a nice valve/valve seat job and light porting job by a professional. A freshen up if you will.

Have you considered your remapping options? Rexxer flash tune or Power Commander and dyno tune are options. A K&N filter and open airbox lid if it doesn't already. It must be tuned right to complete the job.
Depending on the compression ratio used, a change to premium, higher octane fuel may be required.

Gearing. Are you seeking a relaxed cruise in top gear (3800 rpm) or acceleration through the gears and out of corners?
