I'm very surprised at how flat the air/fuel level is.

Ride on

Wild Bill,

Please give us a general price range for each of your modifications. That would really help people like myself who are looking for cost effective upgrades. Also, how many link are in your chain with the 15/39 gears?

Thanks!
Sid

Out west, who would people use for this type of work. Wild Bill seems to have found good people out east but, who would people use out West?

Thanks!

Very nice post Will! Great info and awsome pics! See ya soon for resetting the wheel offset's(front and rear). Glad to see my porting is getting the most out of those cams.

You interested in porting a florida cracker head with the same cam and piston?

For comparo, my bike with stock pipe and carb, free mods, 40 pilot, 132.5 main, DJ needle full lean, airbox lid on and KDX snorkle makes 18.7 Ft Lbs torque.
Don't you just love that flat torque curve. Power all the time.
You mean this piston?

I think the combo of the carb, cams and porting makes the bigger bore work even better. Power all the time in a blip of the throttle is awesome!

Thanks! I wish I did too!

The porting with the valve job was $300 and the shock work with revalve, oil and springs was $250

Me too!

Bill's carb was spot on didn't touch anything, just bolted it on. That makes our life so much easy!
