no i didnt drill the holes in the box cover....it showed up like that. not so fond of it..throttle response is kinda off, im blaming the cover....might try and jet it a bit more or adjust the acc pump, or jsut look for another cover.

gotta find some pro-bends that have the little slider thingy...the bark busters came with it. easy enough.

i will say this bike stops better than anything i have ever ridden. hard on the brakes it easily lifts the rear wheel, pending on body postition the bike tries to come around.

wheelies ok, doesnt lift like before in 2-3-4th, but had a 54t rear on 18" wheel, need some gearing change...granter said possibly go down in the front?? sometihng like 3 up for one down??

waiting for oil cooler, adds a quart so i can go roughly 1k miles on a change,
while apart for cooler ill throw trailtech flywheel and stator at it...

win.

My last ride I finally broke one of the turn signals all the way. I was going to take it into work to fix with the CORRECT tools but got carried away at home.

*still had one replacement from you without the connectors that i'm going to use.

I ended up ordering 2 from Customled.com. I was a little worried because they wanted Paypal so I set up an account and used it for the first time. Ended up fucking up. They were cool about it and fixed my mistakes. Also shipped me 4 instead of 2. Nice company!

on a side note. thanks for that. i was wondering when a letter was gonna show up.
theres been talk of it....and SO many people saying it would never happen.

i honestly appreciate it. sheds some light for some.
especially for the fact that from the sounds of it are going to go after all manufacturers
