Karl, Just trying to keep up with PhilM's Wheelie. Not really just missed a turn and ended up in the ditch. Doing fine till I ran into a log covered by grass. Bike's not in bad shape, it will be ready to ride before I am. I don't think it's as bad as a hip replacement that a couple of our freinds have had.
Glad the build went fine but I would not expect anything less with the talented crew you had wokring onit.
I put some good miles on the new build today....taking it relatively easy, but can tell that at highway cruising she isn't breaking a sweat....got 40mpg on 160 miles of 65 to 75mph cruising this afternoon...not bad for tight rings and a borrowed map
Power is definitely up from my 88" build, but nothing over the top...we'll see what a good tune does
I'm using a map that Steve at AMS gave me....different cams and exhaust, but close to my build....works well enough for the break in period....I'd like to get a 1000 miles on her before the dyno work....we'll see
