Just curious,as far as I know both bikes require 0.05 or 2 thou clearance with modern KS pistons so unless you are using nos Nurals you are about half way to piston slap already.I have both bikes,ridden hard from start,no problems I think piston manufacturers knows better than 50's manual what clearance is required.
