That's actually a Rumble Concepts undertail you've got there... I just bought one myself.

Stephens, probably so, but I couldn't care less anymore. I know it's been dropped on the left, so even if the lever was part of the destruction, it's a thing of the past.

Kip, Around $200. www.motomummy.com. If you are interested, do it fast. Corey is running a special where you get free Driven grips with any Pazzo or ASV order. A note when installing the ASVs; the perch mounts slightly different, so I had to loosen the perch and angle the lever downward just slightly to avoid hitting the front cowl. But overall, I love the levers. If I wasn't worried about resale, I would have run the long clutch and short brake combo.

Exitwounds, remember, I dropped the bike too. It does have road rash from my drop, but not when I bought it.

Rennen, nice bike. I'm debating about the yellow rim tape. The stealth look is killer, but it needs just a hint more yellow there.

Weasel, thanks for the note. I really can't tell the difference between the HB and the Rumble.

Well, I've gotten some nice hard riding in, and I've noticed it runs rich as hell... like flamespitter-on-decel rich. I started thinking for a minute, and I remembered the bike is still tuned for the catelytic converter and the stock exhaust. Alot of backpressure was lost. I checked the stock filter, but it's clean as a whistle. Think a BMC race air filter will let more air in, and lean out the mixture?

I haven't been the nicest guy to my throttle, soI haven't made a decent MPG calculation run, yet.

That is a pretty nice bike you found. I know you said you were done with the clutch lever discussion, but I would like to share that a guy at work had the same thing. His bike slowly fell over in a new asphault parking lot. I like the new levers though.

Sick bike man! Definetly get the LOR exhaust, im sure the 13 inch sounds great, but I know for a fact the 10 inch is the best sounding exhaust I have ever heard in person on a bike.

I'm going to see what the weather does this week before I call the riding season over. One thing I do like about South Georgia is the 10 month long season. If it's decent next weekend, I'll take a ride with my dad and grandfather, then set the bike up for winter storage.

But I'd still like to find out why it's a firestarter. A little rich doesn't bother me; throwing fireballs, however, is a different story. I am, however, quite a discussion point on a bike night. It may come down to buying a PCIII and using LOR's map.
