Are you looking to put a TC drivetrain and fuel injection on that 84?

I have had the bike since last May, put about 2500kms on it. I can say the engine is amazing. It is definitely more on the Ducati side in terms of feel/sound or possibly the Nightrod. Nonetheless it is a blast to ride, just different as you rev high. I suppose like comparing a domestic muscle car that red lines at 4000rpm vs an import. Personally the high torque, low rpm, low hp got so boring for me.
