Very useful pics there, but my heads already have a lot less metal left on them than that.

I think you may have taken just a little to much off that side....

Thanks for the photos.
Are the crankshafts nitrided?

Just like everything else......cost...Vs....profit
But then we would not have all the fun of doing mods to our Rockets

They are forged and hardened - likely ion nitrided, but I am not sure. They could easily be induction hardened.
Rods are forged and shot-peened.

Tripp, I've been wondering about the crankshaft. What are the degrees of the throws? If number 1 (front) is top dead center, going from front to back, where are the other 2 at? I'm pretty sure it's not 2 cylinders TDC and 1 BDC, but I could be wrong. While driving my straight 6 jeep the other day, I noticed it has the same hummmmm as our Rockets. Never noticed until I put the TORS on.
