Oh cry me a river. Lol. I have a Sportster with forged pistons. I gotcher top end noise. I need loud pipes just to cover up the piston clatter.
LOL!
I went from a 1980 KZ650 to a 1985 Sportster (last of the ironheads) and it was a major shocker. It took me 6 months to finally have faith that the thing wasn't going to come apart in a million pieces at any moment. All those clicks clunks and clanks coming from that motor...
I ended up puting about 60,000 miles on that thing before I sold it. The only time it broke down was when a battery terminal broke.
