I could see that... It probably wouldn't happen to me, but if it did I think I'd be obligated to cockwhip the retard...

i know what you mean about feeling slow compared to the I-4 it takes a lil getting used to, but i think the power all over more then makes up for the lack of a huge 185+ top end

I am so F'n jealous. I loved the TLRs. I remember racing at TWS the first year they came out and the EMGO Suzuki team was there. Boy those things sounded sweet on the banking! Awesome bike dude! Have fun with her!

I do get asked that question quite a bit. I just laugh. It's really funny when I pull up next to a Harley, and you watch them trying to process it. *It sounds like a v-twin, but it looks like a sportbike. What the hell?*

As for the base gaskets being left out, I used the gasket sealer material that is used for jetski motors in place of the gaskets. She hasn't complained a bit, and I have over 12k on it since I did the motor work.

Oh boy...welcome to the dark side. Start with...airbox mod, charging system mod, fan switch mod, I went 16 front and 40 rear sprockets...gotta check for sure, 520 conversion, have the suspension set up for you, Yosh full exhaust, smart TRE, pair valve mod, power commander, 98 Dodge Caravan Fuel Pump(trust me...remember this!) and I think you can drain the stock fluid from the steering damper and run 2.5 oil in the stock damper is pretty good. Here are some sites. I went with PM Chicane wheels on mine...trust us...get lighter wheels.

I'll see if I can find the links when I get home. The free mods are Airbox...charging system is cheap, just wires and a fuse...pair valve mod needs some block off plates fabbed...maybe Leon or someone has some or can get some?...fan switch is cheap....and the steering damper is under $20. The sites I listed have everything and parting out a few bikes, take a look around and see what tickles your giblets.
