How about this?


My shop is a little over an hours ride from your house, get your pipe and PC and brinhg the whole shooting match down here. We will bolt it all up and do the pair mod as well as the flapper mod, the california emision-ectomy and you will learn a bunch of stuff about your bike to boot.

Cost to you?.....Nada


just doing the right thing for the RC community


Hell I might go ahead and build you a shock shim, extend your sidestand and do a nicky mod just for sport

I think some of us east coast riders need to pony up and buy Robert an airline ticket so he can come to VA to help us out with our RC's.

OK I just got back from Dan Kyles I picked up a 15/41 kit for you as well as your block off plates. I have a spare sprocket cover I will pre nicky mod it and build a shock shim tommorrow. I have a couple sidestands allready extended so this should be a slam dunk. Figure on an hour to swap the exhaust, another to gut the emission system and get rid of the flapper. I will build an aluminum flapper cover this afternoon and see what I have laying around to build a bracket to hang your new turn signals on. Install and program the Powercommander will be about 5 minutes. set your sag and install the shock shim will take about 30 minutes so I think we will have a couple hours to go out and do a quick test ride. I will let ya cane my RC a bit to get a taste of what another 20 grand will do to one of these things.
