While my R* was in for the SVS again. I had the opportunity to try out a new Yamaha Raider. If you want slide off the seat riding. That would be my choice. When asked what I thought of the Raider, I said there was two things it needs. A windshield to make it easier to hold on. And a backrest so I don't loose the wife in second gear. Admitedly I was bummed to get the R* back afterwords. So I mentioned to the dealer if a raider ever comes in running ok but wrecked. (I would think that could happen with how punchy it is!) We should see if that motor setup will fit in a Roady frame! He liked that idea too. Being he's a RoadStar rider also.
Anyhow until them I'm looking into Mr.C's aircleaner idea next. Then a ported manifold. And we'll see if that gets it a little more thump. My current setup with the pipes only seems to be venting well. Now I just have to let it get more into the cylinders. And then - Who knows!
