Thanks Gardo. Did you have him mill and polish the head on your bike like the landshark (aka p40 mantis) or just do the carb?Quote:

I confirmed with PIT Motors that you can have a bike outfitted with the Carb, exhaust and Engine work and shipped "Ready to Rock!". Weaver/PIT also have a line of military themed bikes that use this same protocol. If your local dealer cannot hook you up, have them call PIT Motors to work it out. If you DO NOT have a local dealer, I can hook you up, and would be happy to do so.Quote:

My 2010 will barely get to 60mph. My 2011 bike hits 80 easily, and did stock. The carb and exhaust mod have made the bike run smoother, cleaner, and I believe cooler. It's also LOUD AS SHIT!(Love it...) but I did not get any extra speed out of the carb/exhaust mods. I did install the carb/exhaust on the 2010 bike and rode it for a week. I had major vapor-lock issues on the 2010 bike and had to run with the gas cap loose, and I eventually I replaced the tank. The 2010 bike ran better with the mods, but no extra speed.
I have not had the engine mods done as of yet, but I have my personal bike up sor sale, and when it sells, I already have the quote ready for a new bike from PIT with all of the Weaver Mods pre-installed.
Hope this helps,
Thanks y'all.
Bought my bike today, pick it up Friday! Magnetic drain plug in the mail, new battery charger all set up in the garage, helmet, gloves, jacket, and boots anxiousley awaiting use. I'm stoked!
Congrats Pete!
Finally got out for a few 20 mile runs. I don't know how you guys are hitting 70 on this thing. I'm winding through the gears and the speedo barely goes past 40. First gear is pretty much useless, may have to look into the sprocket thing. I know I'm going faster than that so the speedo has to be way off. Still breaking her in so. . . I've got the Weaver carb and pipe mods. This thing purrs at idle but it's loud as shit when you wind her up. She seems to be running on the fat/rich side, does not need a choke at all. Definatedly need to mess with the seat and get some new bars. I have some new toys coming in next week. All in all it's fun as hell to blast around town with.
Had a guy pull up next to me on big bad HD and I couldn't get the guy to stop talking. Wow man that thing is sweet! Nice hardtail, who makes it! Etc. We rode for a few blocks together until I peeled off. I think Barnone mentioned it's a magnet for old dudes haha!
Tell me about it I was at Rutt's for Bike night and every old timer had a story to tell, great stories though. I may need to hit Hooter's on Tuesday LoLQuote:

You might be going through the gears to quick, you should be just getting in to 4th at 40 mph.
Right on....Quote:
