You are a very brave soul allowing dragonman to touch and do any machine work on your bike. The dude is a complete hack job. Should have thrown a red flag when he said he starts out honing the cylinders with 500 grit and finishes with 200 grit, that doesnt even make any sense! Hope he doesn't do you wrong.

I noticed that too. Considering the higher the number the finer the cut it didn't make sense but I also know he has a shit reputation with builders in general. I know guys talk shit on each other but I've first hand seen his work and it's cost people a lot more to fix it than if it was done right the first time. That said you ALWAYS measure what you get from the machine shop.

@@ClimptonDiddlehopper many people have said they sent engines to him for full rebuilds and got back half way built engines. Others have even said they got a fully built motor from him and didnt even make it to the end of the street on their first ride before the engine grenaded on them. Man has been doing hard working people dirty and stealing money from customers for decades now.

$655 ?!?!?.. DEAL!!!. damn. What a great experience to have a craftsman like that within reach. Congrats!

Well, as it turns out Dragon Man isn't a good builder and definitely not stand up man. Shame on him.

Do not take ANY engine parts to Dragonman. I am still confused as to how he was able to screw up my cylinders THAT BAD! hack job with no regard for customers. Check out the next video to see how I found all this out the hard way! Should have gone through it all with a fine touch comb. Hell, I've honed cylinders before and figured he can't fuck it up that bad with his machines, well boy was I wrong! the valves/porting job on the heads, were a waste as well. Builders beware.I learned the hard way. AND THANKS FOR WATCHING YA'll

If I had any part of your energy I would get out to the garage, put the Pan trans back together and into the bike, get it off the table and get my Ironhead up there and work on it. But the recliner is comfortable for watching your and other bike videos and it is raining hard. The first half hour of the project is outside work so I am enjoying watching other people and learning tricks. I will be out there dodging the careless drivers soon enough. Enjoy your scooters, and keep the videos coming.
