Re: upgrades?

you may not admit to it but your pushing your opinion on me bad dude. im slowly making the bike much more highway friendly. i was doing 75 going up a slight grade at 3/4 throttle no bullshit. there you go. but i notice my bike gets worse the colder it gets. after checking the spark plug i confermed its running lean on the top. fixing this will increase hp. also its my theory that by making the engine stronger its possible to increase highway fuel economy because i will have to use less throttle to keep the same speed. i hated the lawnmower exhause note so i changed it. i get satifaction knowing i have what it takes to successfully mess with a machine and make it work. so what? and im going to teach others how to do it to, because im not like you and neither are alot of others. besides were men, were supposed to fix it till it breaks :cool:
