Default She's back home

Well after exactly 30 days and countless headaches and BS, I finally brought Medusa home today!! Man, what a great feeling. She is running like a top, real strong on the throttle and a response that I never had from her The stealer has seen there last of Medusa, countless tear downs trying to get her to stop leaking, scratches on my tank, someone dust writing on her, and the final screw job, they gave her back to me filthy, covered in dust and oil, then tried to say they cleaned her up for me. The RSD Cleaner gives her a new and sinister look that I'm liking a lot. I ran her for about 50 miles today, then spent the rest of the day giving her a good cleaning. This whole thing has been a nightmare from the beginning, I'm glad it's finally over. Will post some pics and video tomorrow.

My son put in the smiley faces.

I'd be riding her myself. But pics would be good too. RSD a/c is killer.

Yep whole new top end, as well as various seals and gaskets on the bottom end. Thirty days with out the ride was shear hell. I'm glad she's back up and running before the summer really heats up.
