I have V-Twin jugs on my pan right now. Originally had OEM cylinders, but they were getting thin. The bike is pieced together and not all original by any stretch. The two cylinders were different years, '53 and '55, I think, that I found at a swap meet, so I didn't have any serious concerns about originality when ordering the VT jugs. I have stroker flywheels so pistons were a little harder to find, but I found a pair of cast stroker pistons and brought them with the cylinders to a local machine shop in RI that I've used before with excellent results and had the holes fit to the pistons. I have about 2,000 miles on them now and all is well. The fit and finish are good, it all bolted together nicely, and I'm riding.
