Please let us know what happened, I've been thinking about the big bore kit, but want my bike to be as dependable as it is now. thanks.

Luckily he grabbed a handfull of clutch and got the bike to the shoulder. I'll let them tell the tale. I have some theories too but I'm interested to see what the autopsy results are.

Once we get all the GA stuff compiled you'll see it I'm sure. Benny Black & Silver '02 Too many mods to list Not enough miles ridden
