Even with the extra 10-15 lbs. of flake, and all the guards attached I have never really had a performance issue with the bikes stock engine. Rides great with new Progressive Heavy Duty rear shocks.

Tins and wheels look great. Not crazy about the blue grips though. They are alot darker than the tins. I would like to see a chrome/black grip.
