used to go to that shop when I lived in townson... great place to be and a ton of knowledge for sure.




QUOTE=Bafflingbs;19545779]I’d love to see what my dyno shows now! It definitely has a huge bump in power. I’m not sure why, but it does. Feuling 5.3 injectors? Zipper’s blueprinted cam plate? Zipper’s dual piston cam chain tensioner? Feeling oil pump? Darkhorse crank? Timken conversion? The melted spark plug wire? Oversized roll pins to keep the lifters tracking properly? The fact that my exhaust gaskets were obstructing the exhaust pipe by as much as 1/8” all around? Or maybe, the dyno tune was set at 14.0/1 afr. and is now running richer and cooler, thanks to one of the best T-Max tuners there is? At any case, the bike burns through first too fast to avoid the dreaded rev limiter, without popping the clutch. The tire burn’s out with just a twist of the wick! Second gear gets squiggly as well, and again unintentionally hit the rev limiter. Third is manageable but pulls so friggen hard! Thing is, it has real power, in any gear. If you’ve never heard of Lucky Cycles, in Maryland, you don’t know what you’re missing. He’s partnered with Zippers, for almost 2 decades, and is actually referred to for T-Max tuning, buy Zipper’s. He also has a great relationship with Darkhorse. I’m super stoked. He said I could very safely, set my redline to 6,500rpm’s! I know it was still looking for more, so I’m in! I was literally shaking, from the rush, after I got back to the house.

Bad pics but got my (used) boosted brad mid controls in. I’m gonna blow them apart and powdercoat them black, no chrome on my bike...gonna swap the gold pedals for either red or black to match my paint too.

gotta get rid of my fuel moto 2-1 since it doesn’t fit. Only place that will guarantee their pipe fits with these mids are Stealth Pipes. I actually like pipes a little longer, like axle/mid bag length but he seems happy to accommodate me so far. Will probably add 6”.

Gonna do a little more research but will probably go with them. Pic of the pipe attached.

Primary side mids

Nothing wrong with that Stealth Pipe. I love the look of those. If I were to get a different pipe, I'd get the Stealth.

Who's got the info on what I need to do a plus 2" front end aside from the fork tubes and cartridges? Is it that simple? New fork seals, oil, tubes and cartridges? I'll leave off the cans and get gold forks. Far more stylish. Thanks.

If you have an actual parts list that'd be great too. I prefer to shop for items individually if necessary to save some $.
