Evening fellers.


Went for another ride today which got cut short by a non-emergency family thing. Did manage to get back to my mechanic and told him I had 400 miles on the build now. Also told him how well it was running and how pleased I was with the results of the build.


He just grinned and said, "We can get more out of it when we dyno and adjust the tune."


I just said "Well alrighty then!". So I gotta take it back after I get another 100 miles on it so we can change the break in oil and get her on the dyno. If she does better than she is now, I'm not gonna know how to act!

Yep!


They had a new Knot Head in there putting headers on it and I was looking it over and I noticed something funny about the shocks. The left side is pretty beefy and the right side looks like something you'd put on a f'n bicycle.


I can't post the pics from my phone, but I'm gonna text them to you. Check it out...

You can compress it with your hand. Maybe you can put them up here.


Don't understand the reasoning there...

Had a long day. Wasn't able to answer your questions this morning. Wife is doing alright. Had some tests this morning and has a CT scan coming up in a week or so. One day at a time.
