road the bike home and the low end of the tune is jacked up/jumpy... even though if you compare the charts, it seems to be in better shape in the 1-3k range. IDK...

top is just the same as i remember before dropping it off

i hate how smooth it is. i think i'd prefer it to run rough. feels like my old vt500c on steroids.

nothing to really complain about.

 

Belt guard swap-out test... not sure i like it, feels wrong. but it's easy to undo. i'll leave it for a week or so. still need to do something about the derby cover situation.



as was



as is... i'm not sure i'm ok with this. feels wrong



but,:

 

I think the new belt guard flows really nicely. I can't get over the dual big rotors, looks so mean and I'm sure the braking is phenomenal.

 

Dude! I am jelly

Good job hanging in there with it all. You guys have inspired me to get with on mine, this fall. I spent all my cash on diesel upgrades last winter

 

Finishing move for the enraged...guardless chain drive.

Might I suggest EK.3D chain in silver/chrome (or red?)

 

thanks, outstanding brakes.

117 s&s? you already have the cams. you'll be up there in ludicrous speed with Reindeer and Hardnox





i might do that come belt time. that pull of the primary to replace the belt situation is bulls***.

 

finally ordered a decent derby cover:

 

Looks nice. Are you just wanting to see everything sloshing around
in there when its running ? Cant remember, but do you have some
'super cool' clutch set up to show ?

thanks,

T.

 

Cv, did you ever get you bike(s) to Doc for a proper Dyno tune?

Also, let us know how that Derby pans out. I'va always been curious about those windowed covers and how they age.

 

there a vpc in there. Have a beat up clear derby on there now that i bought off ebay to use temporarily. CG, it was old when i got it and the polycarbonate window was crystal clear outside of the scratches. Still is. I had forgotten about it up until yesterday.




going down to see doc in September. I honestly dont think i'll be that big of a difference but, we'll see.
