3.25 inch hole saw aligned and clamped center marked with a sharpie and pilot hole drilled to contact. Clamped down in 3 places.

Lexan window fits perfectly. The initial cut took about 5 minutes. Per M in SC the cutting area was soaked liberally with WD40 and light steady pressure. The Harbor Freight arbor and holesaw by Warrior did a fine job. Then I got out my die grinder and a coarse stone to open the hole up a little more and got rid of the holesaw marks. Next up will be the Dremel and drum sander to finish it up.

Merry Christmas to me! Just got my Wicked Motorsports ATV billet head plus 2 sets of o-rings and billet powervalve coupler, a present from the Bridal Unit.

That new head requires 93 octane/10% ethanol?
...and, is the billet powervalve coupler for insurance - or was yours getting loose?

Would be nice to get a review on improvements you feel from the Wicked head.

They way to a man's heart might not be his stomach. It might be through his toys, instead.

I asked him to set it up for pump gas. I run 90 non-ethanol for the most part. 93 with 10% ethanol if I have to fill up when out and about. If memory serves he said the premium in CA where he us 91 with 10% ethanol. So it should be fine. Roger is a good salesman. And my powervalve coupler was worn. I will be getting another head and associated stuff for the Gray Ghost build as well this coming year. Normal life obligations and stressors have stopped progress at the moment.

Finally done. Bought a good set of carbide burrs and got after it. Dressed it with a half round file then bead blasted it again. Ready for acetone wipe and a good bake in my $25 FB Marketplace shop stove.
