Here she is without the Tourpak. Lots of ***** G trim and just put on some nice, black 2-piece rotors that aren't in this photo.


Not sure what you mean, but if your referring to the cams, 203 cams were an excellent upgrade ten years ago. Yes, there are better choices available, but a 203 upgrade is a fine choice if all you want to do is a quick stage one upgrade and a set of cams.

Gotcha. I thought he had put them in with the intension of being ready for the top end next, and I could just keep the cams in there.
Seems like I need to do more research. Not wanting to go crazy, just juice it up a bit.
