the only reason i can remember as to why i didn't install it is because from the specs it looks like it doesn't come on as early as the ev27

Had the V thunder in my last bike and it comes on like gang busters thru low and mid range, no problem. Just install it and start getting white knuckles. I use to love pulling out on the highway and blowing away traffic running 80 mph like they were sitting still. I had a great set up for 0-125 mph. I did not have the heads built on that bike either.

Woods is made by Andrews I believe and I do like Andrews. I would easily go back to the V thunder or Andrews if the woods dont work out for me. Im not looking for THE fastest bike on the planet Just quite fast with dependability.
