I love that bike!!! I almost did that with a GS550 I had, and still might do it to my Radian. I dig the low ride and hardtail. The real question is have you dragged it? Curious how she runs!

Is yours hard to kick over? I really have to put some weight into mine.

I have run it in the past with different combinations.With stock wheelbase,stock cams,NO headwork and weighing heavier it ran a best of 12.82@102.5. With a blow through turbo that never got sorted out it would run up to the 1000' mark and the fueling went crazy. I literally coasted the last 320'. It ran 12.23@108 No, it does not kick over hard. 9.6 /1 compression. My goal with this combo is 12.3 ish?
