Yeah, that was my bike. I picked it up yesterday.... little shakedown pass, and off to the gap with it tomorrow.
Hopefully I don't get any gremlins on my trip....without that custom seat I would be falling off the back and holding on for dear life.

Thanks Blk,
It is a totally stealth setup... It's just like you say, nobody knows until I thumb the starter, then you hear the BRRRRRRR along with a high pitched whistle, then a blip of the throttle and the blow off sings.... chi chi chi chi chi chi.... lol.
It sure is music to my ears. For the roads up there I just mainly left it in 3rd and 4th and lugged it out of the turns - boost hits like a sledge at 5000 rpms so there is some room there in the gears before it gets hairy. Bike pulls smoothly in any gear from 2k rpms up. I need to get some video up of the bike starting.... and running.

First of all I'm jealous because I want to go back to the gap so bad I can taste it, lol. Second man that bike looks killer and running like a sledge hammer, they better clear the way! That's great dude, be careful!

Nah, it was like riding a big pussy cat.... It's like a stock bike before the boost kicks in.
Even slower than stock because of the drop in compression. I was constantly getting antsy though to get above
5k rpms. Funny thing was I only put on 950kms over the course of the 4 days, where as if we were riding for the same amount of time in Ontario I would have had 2500kms. That's what twisty roads gets ya though.
