I believe all the parts are ordered and at least shipped, except maybe the r&r overflow. They may have to wait till the backing plates get back from powder. Now I wait.

Sounds like a good setup. Bet it's going to be a big difference. Good luck.

The shop is supposed to tune it. They have a dyno in house. So my fingers are crossed. They were doing some tuning on a bike for the Sacramento mile a while back, I 've seen a 143 getting done there, and all the guys take their bikes to strip as well as well as street them. John the owner is a big fxr guy. He's had a couple hot bike magazine bikes featured that he rides. Doesn't mean he can tune, but we will see. If I need to I can always go back to rc cycles.
