Default finally on the road!

Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice. Ended up w/ 5005, SE heads, etc.. as planned.. The difference from where I was is amazing.. No need to dyno for #'s.. It does exacty what I wanted it to do.. rips out of the hole!!! who says you can't scream light to light on whitewalls? Motor is as quiet at idle as before.. But, on the throttle hard is way way louder!!

Glad to hear it worked out as planned.
A bike that rips is fun, isn't it?

Good to hear, that bike should be fast enough now that the dirt can't catch up to the white walls
