This thing really runs strong. It's kinda "hot roddish" in that it really comes alive between 6 and 9k rpms. It cruises nice between 55 and 80 mph on the interstate, without feeling like I'm pushing it to much. Over all I'm very happy with it. When I'm not riding solo acting like a idiot on a 32 year old crotch rocket, I throw the sissy bar on and the wife and I cruise through the mountains.
A friend of mine that builds heads for pulling tractors did the head work for me. Port, valve job, installed my new springs and seals. Kinda over my head, but it looked great when he was done.
I think the exhaust is a 4 to 2 Mac not really sure. I used a wire wheel on a grinder on the head pipes then high temp primer and paint.
Thanks for the compliments, I've got a hell of alot of work in this bike. It's great to hear some good comments, makes it seem even more worth while. I don't even talk about this at work, they just would'nt understan.
