2540cc.I finished the build a couple of days ago,put a 640CCA battery in the tray hit the starter button and the sound was scary,loud grinding.Pulled the starter out and took it apart,the idler gear exploded.Stuck in my spare stock starter,hit the button it rolled over great until the compression releases closed, then it was a no go.So now it is wait until a high torque starter shows up.Patience is the word!

One of these days either I will take the time to figure out how to do the larger pictures,or get someone to show me.Right now my patience is spent getting this bike finished.However I do enjoy a little R&R sitting here conversing with you boys.Another week or so.

RE: 155" RK build
I was out for a run this past weekend where a guy has a one off 125" motor and 6 speed. While riding through the mountains and twisties he found a long uphill slot and showed us what it could do.
Uphill at 120mph in 6th gear she was still pulling and had more twist of the wrist left in her. I can only imagine what a 155" would be like.
