    As for sticking with a K5, you could do a hell of a lot worse.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    For me, I'll stick with my K5 for now, I think its still ugly, but less so than a K7

    it did turn in slow with all that weight on it.. handling has improved dramatically post surgery; Enigma took it for a spin before and after pipe and said it was a different bike all together; he didn't like the bike at all stock; i lent it him again afterwards.. he wanted to buy one.

    There should be an unwritten rule that any member than owns an RF900R should not be able to achieve the status of moderator. That's just criminal.

    Ah you're just jealous Finn...

    you gotta be more than 5 foot 10 and 95 kgs to handle an RF.

    Ahh Nice! Sorry, I couldn't resist...........And pack racks aren't that bad. They're like being gay.when ya first think about it, it turns ya stomach, but after a few goes ya get to like it! I'll have the rack, and even the standard pipes back on it in three weeks time for the GC, then back to normal. GAY BUT PROUD!!! LOL

    Ok after fifteen pages of rhetoric. What your honest opinion does it go beter ? The figure is not important unless you want to measure all the competition with the same dyno .

    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.

    just back.. left at 6..back at 8; what awesome roads down on the east cape

    yeah shes good, snatchy throttles gone, shes nice and smooth all the way through now; probably still running rich as shes poppin and gurlgin and breathing fire still.

    but the tune did its job so much so i was sitting on the power band in first ready to give it a big hand full to come up and she rose up all by herself.. aint she clever. if only i could keep it up

    yeah .. conclusion.. done the trick.. well worth it !

    im shagged!
