| Servicing Dealership: | Me: 20 y.o. college student so i'm learning! |
| Performance Mods!: | Thunderslide carb kit, Works nitrogen charged rear shock, tried Harley-Davidson race-type fork oil (bad idea, later changed to Harley type E), Storz steering stabilizer, Forcewinder intake, Fireball ignition, Wrapped headers and coated remainder w/ DEI high temp silicone spray (cheaper alternative to ceramic coating and looks pretty good too!), Ferodo sintered pads, Barnett clutch |
