Dang! Now you got me watching all your videos again! Man I love my Hammer. Been thinking I should have had more done than just the basic kit. Been thinking about some head work and Cams lately. Think I'll be hitting Hammer up sooner than I thought.

Thant thing rocks.

I am curious about the steering damper also. Maybe I missed it and I likely did but did you reduce your rake and trail in your build? This is good information to know. I did notice your were testing the shimmy a bit. These are the calculations that keep me awake at night for no other reason other than to have knowledge!

And I like the humongous tach! You must have bad eyes like me!
