The big mods:
Runs on Alcohol (thought about changing it to gas, decided to stick with ALKY)
Trinity Stage IV porting
FMF Gold Series Exhaust
Dyno'd at 83hp.
Stock they came with around 32hp.
Took it for a spin down the road. Shifted into 4th gear and the front end came about a foot off the ground with the tires still spinning... Kinda scary since I didn't have a helmet and you can't steer so well at 60+mph with the tires a foot off the ground
(a foot doesn't sound like much, but consider the wheelbase)
Came back, put on a helmet and ran it through all the gears. Scary fast top end. I don't normally get scared at anything, but this thing is wickedly fast.
Easily 80-90mph. I'm guessing changing the gearing 100mph.
There are a few things I want to do to it... not to make any more power, just a little more reliable.
I'd take pics but it's covered in mud (rain + dirt road).
I had one years ago that had exhaust, jetting and airfilter and I thought that was fast. NOTHING compared to this.
MY pulse is still racing and that was 20 minutes ago.
