Default I have to say...

not sure where to put this, but I guess here is the best place since it is about my NRHS conversion...

due to time constraints, I haven't been able to enjoy my bike that much. Still in the "break-in" phase since I did the 1212 conversion in mid-January...
but every time I do get out for the short time that I do, I'm consistently amazed with the powere increase. This engine has more power now at 1/4 throttle than the wheezer 883 did at WOT.

Combination of the 10.5:1 pistons, SE (thunderstorm) heads, V4 cams and single fire ignition, sure does make for a healthy package. I just can't wait 'til I really can pull it to WOT in another 300 miles or so...
no doubt I'll be able to pull the front wheel.



thanks Dan & Aaron for your help & support!
