It was but we just got more yesterday along with the wind of course. I'm riding when I can! Got 400 miles on it so far.

Hey, Blackstreak congrats on the 124. My wife bought me one for xmas, took my 13 RG to Hillside 11/28 got it back xmas eve has been sitting in the garage ever since. Last Monday got out for 50 miles and it was incredible! Never went over 4500 rpm amazing how it pulled. On a side note we were out your way last august, and I lost my heal toe shifter someplace on rt 120 between 296 and Cody. Imagine how that felt, had the cruse set coming in to Cody the speed limit changes go to down shift and nothings there. Holy crap. Had to go from Cody back to Fishing Bridge RV park in Yellow Stone not being able to shift. I think the GPS said 90 miles. So if you happen to find it let me know it's the heal toe shifter with the shaft that goes through the primary case. LOL Ride safe and that's some beautiful riding you have out there.

I will keep an eye out but there's a good chance that a snowplow threw it way off the road.

Already did. It's up and running. TC3 cam plate and oil pump, gear drive cams, Timken conversion, Barnett Scorpion lockup clutch, HPI 62mm TB, 6.2 g/s injectors, D&D Boarzilla! Very satisfied.

TC3 cam plate and oil pump is the way to go! 30 psi at warm idle with 40+ psi on the road. Stock setup has about 6-10 psi at warm idle. Never like how much the oil pressure dropped. I was concerned about keeping it cool but hell I can't even get it hot. It's a cool runner for sure!
