Ransom T.....took a step back from the salad, but have been to the gym everyday i have been home. if i ever meet the guy who invented that torture device the tread mill i may just see how much STAMINA i have gained using it...LOL!
fireman, we are going to keep the bike in production / production pushrod so we are limited to what we can do. i have embraced the challenge and will keep going forward. so no chain and sprockets, and no visable performance mods.
however we can do a bit of non visable stuff. i am going to go as far as i can leaving the engine alone for the most part, just to see what i can get out of it.
for september we will drop the engine sprocket down and get a new primary chain. replace the clutch plates, spring and clutch bearing with a ceramic one while were in there, maybe ceramic bearings in the trans too. install jesel v-twin pushrods and lifters, behive valve springs and baisley roller rockers. play with different engine oils and do the math to get it geared correctly. have thought about 30deg domed pistons, ti valves and some cams, but that may have to wait til winter. we will see how user friendly the tunable ecm is.
this winter we start bike no.2 its a 1996 s1 chassis, but that's another story
