Head-Quarters 98" kit does OK too.... I can't help but wonder what it woulda made if I'd let Doug set it up @ 10.5:1, like he suggested.... I was gun-shy and didn't wanna go over 10:1.

We're just wrapping up a 10.5:1 95" build this week on Buttman's RG.... Doug sayes it will make more than my 10:1 98".

Phil, It makes great torque, but it's so high up in the rpm band how is it riding 2 up? Most of my riding is in the 3-4k range, rarely am I ever winding it up that high.

I would not call over 100 Torque below 2500 RMP "high up in the rpm band". I think if you compare this to alot of builds out there it is great. It has a very broad torque curve.

It's GREAT for 2up!

90% of my riding is 2up. Power is there anytime, all the time!
