I think it's going to be more than eye candy, but thanx..... I had it out on the expressway tonight and decided to open him up a little and wow. I would match this against my old Woods 6, 10.2:1 stage II heads, Evo build. This bike has a lot of torque... It was nothing to get it to 110mph.... sure the rpm's were up there but without a tach i'm not sure how hi.... I can't believe the power in this one.... I never thought a 74"er could get there..... I am very impressed.... I'm going to need to check the stroke on this one, I can't believe it's a 74"er....

I plan on it... Just wanted to see what it had.....
On another note much to my surprise I couldn't believe I found both ears busted off the starter shaft housing on the starter. It's just floating around... Even the starter relay mount is broken so I lost my ground and had problems trying to start it last night.
