If you had no compression followed by a bent valve that means you didn't time the camshaft with the flywheel correctly and the piston hit the valve. Its possible it could have caused damage to the rocker arms too. Check piston for damage as well as valve. A bent valve will look visibly bent. Put it back together, time camshaft with flywheel. Inspect for further damage, adjust valves. Then turn the engine over with your hand first (Spin flywheel) and make sure nothing hits. Then try to start it.

Which ones do you have? Some are brighter but don't project good.

If the bike could fully power them both at the same time I would say its maybe 1% better than stock. with both plugged in it wayyyy dimmer than stock an I think the high/low was backwards I will never in this life time pay as much as I did for them again. I was looking for something more reliable than stock as they kept blowing. Thinking of searching for a quality stock 35w bulb and using these as my fall back bulbs. I don't have a new stock bulb to put side by side, and the camera sucks.

I'm trying to boost the charging voltage and current the go to he battery, so I can add extra electrical accessories. The device claims that you connect the electricity on one side and it amplifies it and puts out it out the other end

The smaller tire ended up blowing. It was severely bald and cheap to begin with. It was so loud I thought my engine backfired or blew. Plugged up the big tire and put it back on and it was good for a couple day until my new tire came in the mail.
BTW the two tire sizes were 3.00-10 and 3.50-10

Put them in, and the bike can't put out enough power to fully brighten them. I just use one. Its brighter and won't kill the battery.

Ok. Sounds like too much work. My bike is fine air cooled.

Thnx. I was going to get a catch can, just wanted to see if this would work. I know my rings are worn. I ran them hard and skipped break in.I figured rings are cheap, and I like doing the work to keep my mind fresh so why not.

You know the valve cover with the hose the always spits mists of oil. Well what if I connected it to a vacuum port on the intake manifold.
When I suck on the valve cover hose while the engine is off it creates a vacuum, so only whats vented out will go to intake.
I tried it for a few secs at idle and it worked.
Haven't tried at full throttle due to the unknowns, but at high rpm the vacuum goes down, but more air is vented out of the valve cover.
Would this interfere with the air/gas mix? Could it cause damage to any seals?
Or was this a dumb idea from the jump?

Is it possible you have a failing egr system? If you have an egr or "pair' system try unplugging the big hose leading to the valve cover and rev the engine and see if it sounds like what you were talking about there could be a leakage or blockage.

Also when I did .003 for both on my kit I noticeably lost compression and the bike had to be "gassed" to start. So I set them the top at a loose. 004. The .005 could fit after adjusted if forced a little. And the same for the exhaust but a little open more.Now when I push that button its eager to start.
