Runs real strong. Probably not worth the $$ spent come resale time, but did I mention that it runs strong?

To me, there's a huge difference in a 904 and stock America or Speedy. I had the BB done years ago and have been able to tweak out dyno runs of almost 70 hp and 66 ft./lbs. torque. Also made a big difference riding 2 up.

My 904 is for sale in the classifieds section. Thought I'd never give it up, but getting older and can't have two bikes. I'll keep memories and pics but it will be gone next week.

Beautiful.

My '02 America had the BB kit installed when I purchased it. So I can't compare one to the other, but I do really like the performance of mine.

Not even breathing hard running down the road at 90.

Very nice ride.

Looks like you have the Leatherworks Nickel bags and a QPD belt drive.

I always liked the look of the yellow Speedmasters.

Those Nickel bags have held up great for the last 25k miles. No chain maintenance has been nice.
