Dropped the bike off, next time I see it, its gonna be a 1200. I wasn't going to do the conversion but decided that with my stlye of riding it doesn't make any sense to get a different one. Plus I do like the bike. There making the conversion along with gears,forward controls and tach. Bike has under 5k on it.
thanks guys for your comments. I figure its a worthwhile investment.
I don't see me moving up..anytime soon. I like what I have.
Last year the bike only had 589 miles put on it. This year it should be driven more.
UPDATE:
Its all done and finally had a chance to ride yesterday.... and I love it!! The best upgrade I could have done. Along with the engine it got the gears done and had the forward controls put on.
No longer am I going through those gears so quick. I highly recommend anyone thinking of doing this to do it!
What was the price they gave you on the conversion if you don;t mind me asking? I may eventually go with it but I can't wrench it myself so it will be good to know the cost if I decide to go with it.
