My disclaimer is I need to compare with another bike on the same ride. Maybe my miles o meter is off. :wacko2: The improvement is hard for me to believe.

I am happy to know that you are now the new target for Mike. Have fun with that....  :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

...I noticed the single side anchoring. That's one more than needed! Red head waster.

Believe me, that power generated from that 1 hp. buffer needs at least 3 red heads in the corners to stabilize... Probably best if all 4 corners are anchored.....There is a reason Mark is stepping on the front of the stand.


Thanks for your help Mike...I'll be in touch to work out the logistics on the luggage hand off...

I can vouch for that more performance ---- pulled on my 90 in roll-on and he never did on the 86....



We need to do that again... :blush: The '89 pulls so well and runs like a good FJ, I was in 4th on the slab. After our roll on I was surprised when I shifted into 5th...  :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

It was fun pulling away from you like you had peddles instead of an engine....

I expect my 18/38 to give you some advantage when in the same gear and speed....

How did I miss this thread until now!
Nice job Mark and Pat.

My polished pipes have never been touched since first doing them, but I plan on going over them and a few other things before the central rally.

Sure, right after I install the RPM FI kit....
