Thumbs up First Ride after much work!

Just got back from a 35 mile initial run. '99 RKC injected.

Did an AMS 96" big bore and Andrews 26g's gear driven cam. Added the PC III and Rhinehart slip ons from Fuel Moto while I was at it.

WHOLLY CHIT!!!!

It ain't the same scooter!!!! Didn't twist her hard at all, but man what a difference. You can just "feel" it.
Like going from patting a puddy cat to patting a adult male lion.

Got to chase down a horible oil leak on the rear cylinder, but it'll have to wait 'till I sober back up. I'm gettin' waisted!!!!

Thanks Dawg, and others who answered some pretty silly questions over the last month...

Now where's the bottom of that Crown bottle...

Congrats! I know the feeling as I recently went 103" with Andrews 54H cams and Big Boyz heads. A TOTALLY different bike! Wish I could join you in a toast with that Crown!
