Yeah, dropped right at $5K on it. I have the extended arm but will be saving it for the winter as I'm going to polish it and the frame. I will use the arm for showing off at events and such. I won't put it on for daily riding.

Power-wise? OMG. Stupid wicked fast. Its NOTHING to get to 50+ in first gear and be around 5k rpm.

But today I bought a new K&N oil filter, Royal Purple 10-40 cycle oil and water wetter. I already have bottles water and coolant. A new air filter is on order and new fork seals as the right side is leaking a bit. Brake pads will be next.

I feel liter bikes are overkill for street riding, but at 5k that's a steal!

ohgood

that's a nice bike, you'll be fine without ruining it by extending it.

juist ride and have fun :)

Well, Ive changed the air filter (K&N), change the oil with a K&N filer and Royal Purple, bled front and rear brakes and flushed with fresh DOT4. New pads has been ordered. Several chrome accent pieces have been ordered. New chrome rims are ordered also. My Corbin front seat came in today. Now that Im thinking about it, I need to order my fork seals.

I had a really big spider in it somewhere that was making some really nasty webs. I finally got rid of his azz. I dont do spiders.....eww....

My best friend is like 320 and 6'4".. he would probably wreck his car if a spider landed on him while driving... just imagine that thing jumping onto your visor while cruising...

Full helmet I hope.. Those guys that ride without are crazy. I cant imagine a big ole bug at speed right in the eye or mouth or neck.

IMHO those are far easier to control than lower gears. not so violent

Bike spiders are the worst. I have to kill 3 or 4 of them every time I go riding, though only once in a while is one quite that large.

weedahoe

Yeah, not only large but extremely fast. I tried to catch him with long needle nose pliers and he hauled azz
