Spero! Meant no disrespect on calling it out to you that it was an SP1. Glad you joined. You will not find a more knowledgable crew then the people on this board. Taker easy, and hope to ride with you, one of these days.

Welcome!

That's a pretty cool and unique RC.

That screen is mother f'n tall! Is it a Gustafson? Also, what kind of tank is that?

One of a kind that's for sure. Have you ever used a canyon dancer tie-down?

that fairing stay is quite fragile

Nice RC51 and Welcome to the Forum,...

As far as your question about the "Clutch".... 1 of my top 5 mods. for sure, was the Thorsten CCC.!!

I'll NEVER Go back! Sheese.. I don't even need a slipper clutch with this thing... the lever is SO Light= easy to feather!

And as always... Ride Safe!

Peace Mav.

Another shot at my point I'd be afraid of ****ing it up with your tie downs like that.
