Nicely done sprock. i new it was comin... i didnt figure it to be the first one though.

And a little bit of engine work, ive got a whole new wiring harness and cdi from a 91'
Airbox removed and carbs rejetted, needles shimmed
I split my exhaust from 4-1-2 to 2-1 on each side, it opened her up quite alot
im also running a 91 pulse rotor witch is a few clicks timed different.
thats about it for the engine though. she gets alot pull on top and bottom end thats for sure. im no master mechanic but i must have done somethin right cuz im still allitle nervous to give her the last 1/4 throttle at 140. it feels like it could still grab some more *** at that point.

There's at least another 20MPH in there if you wind her up in 5th and then let her go.........
It'll be interesting with no fairings....................EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK !

Was the fender hitting the oil cooler? If it is, move it up. The fender helps brace the forks. I test rode a BMW S1000RR, and the fairing was so low I looked way over it. That felt like flying.
