I'd try and do both....something like the new FeulMoto 107 kit with a little Stage 2 head work by Hillside Cycle will get you the power you want for around $2800 and then if you catch the wheels at rally where they offer the best deals from the factory or maybe PM wheels off Ebay from Eastern Performance you get the best of both worlds.

Step up to the big leagues: 120". Those billet wheels you have now look just fine. Or would you rather be "all show, no go"?

Leohd, I'm sorry but you were a little forward in your post. Please except my apologies. My Dad, who's an ex FBI agent once told me, desertion holds true not only in a solders post but in life.

God Bless and have a Good Day!
