road the bike home and the low end of the tune is jacked up/jumpy... even though if you compare the charts, it seems to be in better shape in the 1-3k range. IDK...

top is just the same as i remember before dropping it off

i hate how smooth it is. i think i'd prefer it to run rough. feels like my old vt500c on steroids.

nothing to really complain about.

Belt guard swap-out test... not sure i like it, feels wrong. but it's easy to undo. i'll leave it for a week or so. still need to do something about the derby cover situation.

I think the new belt guard flows really nicely. I can't get over the dual big rotors, looks so mean and I'm sure the braking is phenomenal.

Good job hanging in there with it all. You guys have inspired me to get with on mine, this fall. I spent all my cash on diesel upgrades last winter

Finishing move for the enraged...guardless chain drive.

Might I suggest EK.3D chain in silver/chrome (or red?)

i might do that come belt time. that pull of the primary to replace the belt situation is bulls***.

Looks nice. Are you just wanting to see everything sloshing around
in there when its running ? Cant remember, but do you have some
'super cool' clutch set up to show ?

thanks,

Cv, did you ever get you bike(s) to Doc for a proper Dyno tune?

Also, let us know how that Derby pans out. I'va always been curious about those windowed covers and how they age.

there a vpc in there. Have a beat up clear derby on there now that i bought off ebay to use temporarily. CG, it was old when i got it and the polycarbonate window was crystal clear outside of the scratches. Still is. I had forgotten about it up until yesterday.
