Nice list of add-ons. I too have the V&H SS2R 4 into 1 exhaust on my bike. I just did a -1 front and a +2 rear sprocket, talk about a bike that pulls all the way through the powerband!!! K&N handles all the air coming in and I rebuilt my forks with heavier springs to force that front end down in the corners. I also recently installed kevlar brake pads and a D.I.D. gold x-ring chain. Things are feeling ALOT tighter now than before.

I used to live in the Northern Territory in Australia. Its a state 3 times the size of California, but with only 170,000 people and NO SPEED LIMITS once outside of the metro area. One of the few places in the world you can legally open up the taps

I've riden the 1400km trips from Darwin to Alice Springs and the slowest I went was 220kph

But you can almost see the Fuel Guage needle heading over to E

Nah that was actually filmed in Victoria on closed roads.

People don't film in the N.T unless they have to. The Year round 30-40DegC heats puts em off.

I'm still around and just stop to say hi to everyone after2 years ofMIA.
I was one of the first members inthis section with "greymustang".
We PM the administrator to get us our own Hurricane section, since there was none back in 02/2005.
I still have my Hurricane, but just added a GSXR 1000 Matt Mlading edition.
It is nice to see how much this section has grown since then.
Keep it up guys.

Hey Red Baron. Nice to hear from you again
Yes the forum is steady growing, but some of the old members are missing. Old diehards like R1000, Trips, MarkR, dad and othersare still in the game though
