| 40 | Comments | I ran up the street in the summer and it seems to perform well, can't wait to get it on the street. Seems very torqy and the power really comes on at 2000 rpm and revs easily. I may have hampered drivability with the lightened flywheel though. Exhaust beginnings and engine and be seen and heard at http://www.angelfire.com/bc/jmartin/exhaust.html |
