I suspect I am in the last 10% of development on ths bike, due mostly to the cost of changing gear ratios to lower engine RPM. It is Still a great bike to ride on long freeway trips. So I will be adapting a larger fuel tank with 50% more copacity...
Ron, Great job!
Sorry I missed you guys at Carmel. Will you be going to the Mid-Ohio Challenge?
