Upgrading my 88" to a 95" with a 203 cam was the best money I've spent on my bike. A power increase you can really feel. My bike will easily pull away from my friends 88" RK with andrews 26 cams.

When my Trike hits 20K (which it will in its first 12 months) I am going to ride another 20K miles. Don't fall in the consumer trap.

If anything, go gears! But really not a big deal to check them every 15-20K either. Pull the cover every year or two? Finally had to sell my last Ninja a couple years ago because my old sick brain & body couldn't keep up. Harleys are fun in a different way (had at least one since '90) but they always have been underpowered out of the box. Triumphs rocked...

Plotting and scheming is half the fun, right? Thank you so much again.
