Great job, kudos to you for the work and attention to detail.

Thanks for the pics, you did a great job with them.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Thanks Fella's!!!

More to come soon.... Thinking about doing a air ride suspension front and rear as well as UnCorking the beast..
I have already read everything there is and am confident in my carb and tuning skills - Syncing is SUUUUCH FUN ---Not... but Im pretty dam quick at it now lol
Only question would be about jet sizes because of being at Altitude as I am in Denver and do 90% of my riding here. I will share as those things happen as this forum has been a life saver many a times over!!!
