Good Compression Numbers

I have searched, this forum is a HUGE wealth of info, and I've read that anywhere between 100-120PSI on both rotors is good. Also, pulses around 30-35PSI is important. My question is, for a 13b twin, what should numbers be around for a non abused, well maintained 1994 with 74,000KM?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You already have your answer. 100+ psi combined (3 x ~33 psi individual) is generally considered to be great compression. 90+ psi is good, and anything below that will need a rebuild fairly soon.

Thanks man. The car checked out great! I now have an FD sitting in my garage! Couldn't be happier. I'll be posting some pics tomorrow if you want to check it out.

Here are a few pictures right after I got the car back to my house. It has a few scuffs from shipping, but overall I couldn't be happier with the car considering it is 15 years old and has traveled half way around the planet. Let me know what you guys think!
