2002 Yamaha Roadstar XV1600 Total Engine Rebuild

I am not a motorcycle mechanic by any means, but when my Midnight Star's front cylinder decided to puke up a piston and leave me stranded alongside the turnpike in northeast Oklahoma, I determined it was time to swap the damaged engine for a '99 eBay motor I lovingly rebuilt with my own two thumbs. Now the bike runs stronger and has more power than when I originally bought it and that makes me very, very happy! One of my viewers has made a really good suggestion on the "superimposed" images in the video not clearly showing the damage that was done. So, I've uploaded the original photos of the piston and cylinder and how they looked when I first pulled the jug after the malfunction. They can be found here: http://myaddictedmind.com/images/2419... http://myaddictedmind.com/images/2421... http://myaddictedmind.com/images/2422... http://myaddictedmind.com/images/2424... http://myaddictedmind.com/images/2425... http://myaddictedmind.com/images/2438... http://myaddictedmind.com/images/2440... Thanks Steve H. for the suggestion.
