Check out the Burliegh bars Highballs, they would suit it to a T.

Good luck!
Haha, April means snow goes away & riding season is around the corner.

Shipping & duty from US to Canada kills us up here

Yup, that's the style of bars I was looking into

It does suck, but gotta have winter hobbies or you go stir crazy. You are definitely lucky.

The 555's are great & want to see the RPM before it really starts pulling

Curiosity, I wanted to see how the 222's pull with the lower torque curve

Cool I was just wondering. I wanna start looking into building my motor. I got 555s too but curious to see what else is out there. I'm happy with my current highend but I want a lowend monster LOL

I would say stay with the 555's & you obtain more low end with more cubes (117 would certainly do it)

Not sure if possible with belt to change the pulleys to obtain low end torque like you can with chain sprockets
