I still need to get my last few sets of pics uploaded and posted, but just wanted to share a little sumthin tonight....

Along with my new BR Bars, I replaced all the cables & brake lines. I also rebuilt the front calipers. For the life of me, I could not get the damn brakes bled. I tried a pneumatic bleeder, Speed-Bleeders, normal bleeding, etc. and just could not get it to pressurize & bleed.

I finally waved the white flag and solicited assistance from my buddy Jud, @ http://judcowleycycles.com. After some time and lotsa' mess, he got them bled for me.

At that point, we decided to put the bike up on his DynoJet 250i & see about tweaking that "starter MAP" so I can go out and safely log some miles and then get it fully tuned.

Here's what we got, with ONLY 50% throttle, up to 4000RPM..... I was pretty happy!!!

YES - it does ride QUITE nice!!!!

Dam I missed this whole build, been spending too much time in Dyna section hehe. I think this is going to be a monster Phil, I am wondering what the MPG will be with this size motor and TB. Are you welding some I Beams to the frame to handle the tq of this motor?

Why do you have to escalate the goal of a strong motor thus costing the rest of us countless hours of thought and internal turmoil about how weak out mere 107's and 106's are? Please stop here hehe J/K. Cant wait to see the final #s
