Default Fuel Moto Stage one and now more HP

So I ordered an A/C, PCV and the Jackpot slip on's. Jamie provided a tune and the bike ran great. I'm up at altitude so I start my rides at 5300ft and go up from there. After a few revisions using the PC tuning software and altering the tunes for this I was able to balance the front to rear plug color and eliminate a little ping at about 10-20% throttle while climbing the canyons. Bike is fantastic and with only about 16K miles on it I decided to pull the trigger.

Heading out tonight at about midnight to Fuel Moto with the bike in a comfy trailer for any unforeseen weather that might pop up. 1083 miles and about a 16 hour drive will get me to my destination by dinner time. Moving up to a 98" kit with TW-555 6R cams and Level B heads. FM will be installing the complete kit followed up with some dyno time. Can't wait after hearing such positive feed back from everyone.

I'm also using the Bikers Bar which I just installed in the trailer and what a piece of cake it is to load and unload! If anyone has used this mount and has any tips please let me know. I adjusted it per instructions but I wanted a little more pre-load so I lowered the clamping blocks to the next lower level. Seems real secure but with a test drive I found the handle bars turned to the right when I inspected the bike after I parked the trailer. No big deal that they moved. I just don't want the bars flipping side to side during the road trip. Any pointers?

Have a safe trip.

I live about 40 miles away from Little Chute and the weather here will be cool but dry over the couple of days. Upper 30s for lows and mid 50s for highs.

So far so good on the Bikers Bar for traveling. Stopped for breakfast in Kearny NE.



I'll take a picture inside when finished with breakfast and a little daylight to help. I tried to lock the wheel but the bar attached to the frame shifted to the right. After looking at the clamping plate I could see a possibility of the bike shifting to the right and disengaging. I'll measure and see if this is a non existent issue.

Ok so the distance from the end of the bar and the clamp is borderline to coming disengaged but I found a little steel rivet on the bottom to keep it from slipping out. Before I knew this I just used a rubber bungee to hold the wheel in place.

Off again ....... to Cedar Rapids for lunch.
