Wow Dave. Thats fantastic. Thanks!

I've had good experience with my Holley DP. The car had an Edlebrock when I bought it. Even after a rebuild it wasn't right. The same guy rebuilt the Holley and it's been great since 2009. Just seems to be personal preference.

Here she was, in all of her factory stock glory. These are after removing a few things and adding the Sato exhaust. The wife's 600F3 and mine at a family outing. This was Thanksgiving dinner 2003, so it was pretty warm that year. Early part of 2004 was when she went down...

Yeah I can imagine. I had a set of Sato high exit exhaust on mine. Good lord she just growled with that set up. I love a big block Mopar V8's sound, but a VTwin superbike sounds even better IMO. I was looking on craigslist last night for one. It hit me that mine would've been 10 yrs old...

Haha. Yeah, I had quite the time on bikes! I started riding dirt bikes in Jr High, then started to race in H.S. After my crash on dirt, I switched over to street riding, and then racing. I had almost given up street riding a year before my big crash. There was a group of us locals that...

My first sportbike was an F3. It was nice, but I naturally wanted something "faster." After having my F3 for a couple of years I bought my 929, then the RC51. Dang it...talking about it just makes me want another even worse!

Yeah, I have 3.91's currently. Like Dave said, they're fun in town. Get out on the highway though and it's a bit different. If I had a set of 3.54's laying around, Id go with them. My 3.91's are still good to go for now however, so Im not gonna buy a set.

Man, it was an incredible bike. Unreal amounts of torque. Downshift once on that thing, compared to 3 or 4 with the inline 4's. And the sound.......There is NOTHING like a V-Twin screaming around a track. Seriously....the dumbest thing I ever did was to switch over to the RC as my race...

I liked the 954RR the few times I rode one. I traded in my 929RR for an brand new 2004 RC51. I REALLY wish I wouldn't have crashed that one.....That was a heck of a bike.

Yeah, I made a full recovery, despite what I was originally told by the specialist at the Crystal Clinic. I highsided coming out of turn 9 at Mid Ohio. I broke my right ankle into about 8 separate pieces. Of course, I then got ran over, breaking my left leg. So, I ended up breaking both legs...

Um, yeah, I've been known to ride a bike once or twice. Yes, these are me, taken at Mid-Ohio back in 2003 I believe when I was actively riding and racing. I got into the old Mopar hobby after my bike hobby was finished thanks to an on track crash. (2004) As you can see, I also rode, and...

Welcome! Im not too far away from you up In Wooster. We frequently travel to Columbus, as I cant stay out of Vance's and Schmidt's!!

Thats where I got mine from too. :encouragement:

Ive fought issues like this for years. On our old Satellite every now and again the positive terminal would get corroded. A lot of times you couldnt really see it, but it wouldnt start the car. I would hear a "pop" then see a bit of smoke from the hood. The car wouldnt have any power after...
