HEEEY Sound HD. The last time I was up there one of the employees wanted to see my bike and he thought it was so ****in cool.
its a nice location cause there's a costco near by, a nice little park, and a good place to do 0-100mph tests.

Confirmed yesterday that I married the right woman... She talked me into buying the Ohlins she's been listening to me talk about incessantly

Absolutely worth every penny so far, super smooth when cruising, soaks up bumps 10X better than stock, and obviously they look absolutely fantastic! I cannot wait to get out and rip on this thing once I get a little time!

Nice! It’s always awesome when the lady agrees to a purchase, especially an expensive one.

I remember the west coast got historical heavy rain and mud slides this spring. So much the reservoirs refilled.
What happened?

Default Checked my 21 RG flywheel runout



I knew a year ago when adding the 132 BBK to the stock bottom end that it was gamble! I honestly didn't expect it to make 160+ HP and although it did, it obviously didn't last. Flywheel runout when installed was +/- .004 within a couple tenths on each side.
Lesson learned and moving on to bigger (hopefully better) things, in the form of a Suburban Speed 135 BBK that includes a Darkhorse flywheel.
It'll take a while to collect all of the HD (High Dollar) parts and once they're on hand I'll start a new thread in the M8 engine area.
