I couldn't agree more. I installed the Thundermax this past weekend and really made the bike wake up. I think cams are next.

Default So it begins

Put bike on lift, started taking her apart. Pulled primary cover to inspect, because when I started draining all 3 holes, found what I thought was excessive amount of metal grit on magnetic drain plug. Everything looks good. Chain only a little out of the 3/8" recommended spec.

Got a free new 103 HO kit so I bought some cams and push rods, did some painting and built a motor! will be adding some air brush and gold leaf to the paint, and some more gold accents throughout the winter to make it blend more.

Like that Black & Gold combo. Kinda reminds me of the old program Beverly Hillbilly's - when the song says - "Black Gold - Texas Tea". LOL, I giving up my age now.
