Thats the route i am going, though my bike has been fast becoming my primary street ride so your needs may vary.

Ohhhhh... I'd love a kickstart!
How much do those bad boys go for and how much weight do they add?!

EDIT: No, no... must keep priorities in check.. NEXT mod is 351 kit!

Even though 5lbs doesn't seem like much, it does make a difference that I can actually FEEL. I was just recently down in South Jersey riding with the club and the battery works flawlessly. Cold temps...NO PROBLEM. I could really feel the difference when attacking a long set of whoops in 3rd gear...less whallowing for sure. I'm not sure what that 5lbs equates too when being thrown around at 35 to 40 mph over deep whoops.

Real results from real off road riding.
