WOW

took it out yesterday over the freeway bridge by our shop-- good way to test an illegal bike. 2 blocks from the shop and i'm on the bridge, and then the ducati dealership where a friend works is 2 blocks from the other side.

wow, this thing rides awesome. still have a little dialing in to do before hitting the track, but around 7K RPM it really comes on, and pulled well to 12,000.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Great looking bike.  Do you have any recent pictures of the bike and maybe some of the drive chain tensioner setup that you mentioned?  I wouldn't mind seeing some closeups. Thanks
