I would if I could. But since I do not service/sell for a wide array of motorcycles, it is difficult to get a tire dealer to sell to me at the prices where I can be in the price range of other online vendors.

At this point, tires & chains are two things I cannot get into the market as the costs are higher than what people purchase from online vendors.

Maybe someday, you never know.

Pat's comment on the Dyno is not his personal wish list. It is required for Randy to complete the mapping of the upper gears. He has mapped 1st and 2nd, not sure about 3rd. When you have a laptop strapped to the tank for data collection and performing WOT runs, you run out of road real fast by the time you top out in 3rd gear. Imagine getting to the top of 4th and 5th gear, think of images of a starship jumping to light speed. Now to just get all them damn planets out of way. The FI upgrade has been described as having all the power like a big bore.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

So I'm thinking the engine mods i had are pretty much a refresher.I invested tones in my fj and a fjr1300 is very attractive.I like the chain drive tho

Wait a minute. Don't change the subject. I'm waiting for Mike to answer my question.

You say to me, fuck you and you call me an ass....now Mike,  tell us all about the RPM shop dyno.

Or did you just pull that statement (again) out of your ass?
