Time for track body work and Dzus fasteners. With that set up you'll be at frame in 5 minutes.

Wow. All I can say is that I hope you heel quickly and fully. Good luck!

Maybe a big block Moto Guzzi?

Try regular instead of medium or super. At altitude you don't need a higher octane because the air is less dense, so less compression. Because higher octanes burn slower than lower ones, the bike will probably not run as well.

Looked good to me. Better than I can do! The only time I wheelie is when I don't mean to.

Man this thread pulled all kind of old timers in. How are you Jamie? Congratulations on the herd of munchkins. We had a daughter almost a year ago. Of for want of sleep. Glad to hear you're still riding. My stable has grown too.

I've taken 63 lbs off the bike! Wheels 8 lbs, battery 10 lbs, exhaust 12 lbs, enclosed chain drive 630 to 530, 17 lbs!, brake rotors and rear conversion from drum to disc 7 lbs. etc. Rear shock 2 lbs, etc. It really adds up. I figure she is now about 475 to 485 lbs. Stock was about 530 to 540...

The change in cranks save 4 lbs! The new motor is really nice. "Smooth" for a Virago, lots of power. Yesterday I gave her the berries for the first time. Second gear straighten my arms out! Because I'm running a larger rear tire, and the taller 5th gear from the XVS I changed the counter...

Nice job Noodle! Keep up the great work. This is really a fun thread. :D You've really broken new ground with the R1 subframe. I don't recall that being done before. Any plans for a new paint job once the hard work is compete? Oh, and I don't recall, but are you doing any work to the...

You better finish this one!

I've not posted in a while. The bike runs GREAT! Stock red line is 7,000, the new red line seems to be about 7,800. She pulls very quickly and there is NO need to downshift from 5th gear, just twist and GO! As of today she has about 225 miles on the new motor. With the winter that has not...

This is over one mile from a standing start. R1s only do 165 in a mile. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I've been about 145 to 155 going into turn one at Texas World Speedway in my R6 race bike, it is mind altering. That's off a 23 degree banking. Google it.

Ripped off? I'm really trying to get my head around that statement? Do you feel that Yamaha sponsors the site? How the heck does a change in URL make you feel ripped off? This site, as many have stated, is about it's members. Not a motorcycle. Regardless thanks for donating.

You'll love the canyons. I grew up in Estes Park. From Boulder you've got HWY's 36, 34, 7, Boulder Canyon, Peak to Peak. In Ft. Collins I LOVED Poudre Canyon, Rist Canyon, looong trip, Rabbit Ears Pass in the way to Steamboat Springs. Just watch out of gravel early in the year and animals at...

For 200+ aerodynamics is the key. HP is really a moot point over about 150ish. Reason being aerodynamic drag goes up exponentially, horsepower increases in small increments. Yes even a 'Busa with a blower in incremental unless aerodynamics are address. This is a great site to check out...

I love it! Very cool. Would you mind shooting some video of the complete cart driving? I've love to share this.

I assume you are using a new gasket?
