Took mine out for a final ride before putting away for the winter. Now just need to get my 09 head pipe 12mm O2 bungs welded in. Winter project. Then to change out my head pipe for the 09(no cat), and order my FP3. Got to love New England weather. I hate the winter.
Had to put her up today.
Prolly for the winter. Tear down will begin for full stage 2, powder coat front fork lowers and various other parts, and new wheels and tires over the winter plus some mods from the DIY thread.

Tore it down yesterday for a bore and some head work. Today I replaced all the engine fasteners with a polished stainless kit from alloyboltz. I hope to have my stuff sent to Kirby by Tuesday for machining.
Finally swapped out my true dual setup out for a fuel moto jackpot 2-1 road and track. Will tell you one thing the fit and finish is awesome. The sound of it is like no other i have heard. Almost all the videos you see online sound nothing like it really is. Will start a thread later showing all the details along with uploading a video of it.
