Default Trask Turbo Arrived

Rec'd my turbo today The system is sweet! The install cd is very good and straight forward which is nice. No hidden or missed install points. I started the install tonight and will finish up tomorrow. Once I get it all together and running then I'll take her for a spin. I'll post the results and some pic's of the bike when it's finished. I'm still waiting on my 5 inch pro-cycle tach with shift light. That should be in next week. Once that's done then I'll order the Pingel electric shift kit. I gotta find a reputable shop that has a dyno to fine tune this bad boy. If there is anyone here from Washington state and knows of a good shop that the tech's know what they are doing on a dyno, let me know. Thanks.

NightStar - Yup, it's pretty straight forward. You don't need any specialty tools, just basic hand tools for the install. Trask sends a Installation Guide CD that is very good... I put it in my lap top and just followed the Technician on the CD however, I messed up and broke the clutch spring plate when I was diassembling the clutch pack... I had to rush order a new plate, it will be here Tuesday... That sucked cause I was looking forward to taking her out for a spin... I'll take some pic's tomorrow and post... I'm dog tired, it takes every bit of 10 hours to install the system but it sure looks bad on the bike I am still waiting on my tach and will be ordering the Pingel electric shift kit in the next couple of weeks... I changed out the bars to 1 1/4 inch T-bars and removed the stock instrument cluster and replaced it with a Dakota digital speedo... The tach is a 5 inch pro-cycle with shift light... The stock tach is too difficult for me to see so I went with the 5 inch tach... I have to say Trask puts together a very good kit... Everything was there, all the pieces fit the way they are suppose to... If you thinking about getting one, I recommend you do so, very solid kit throughout... Cya
