Howdy folks,
About 1 month ago I picked up a black gen1 2001 with 12k miles in completely stock form. Didn't take long before the mod bug sank its teeth in... I don't even know how much i've spent already but it's up there. I have the bike taken apart down to the motor and frame waiting on my ivans MB kit to show up along with ported boots and K&N pods. Once those show up i'll be piecing her back together and hoping for the best when I hit the start button I put 50 miles on her this winter riding around in sub 30 degree weather trying to get a feel for her and seeing what it's all about. Due to the roads being wet most of the 50 miles I was only able to get on it about 75% in second gear. Even at 75% the power is unreal compared to what I came off of (92 honda shadow 1100). I can only imagine when this baby gets jetted and I throw on the slip-on. Gonna be a hellatiously fun year!
Thanks to everyone who has helped me pick my mods and thanks to everyone else who has contributed all the great info to this community. From all the reading I have done there are so many headaches that were made easy by the knowledge of every aspect of our bikes some of these members have. What more could you ask for? You guys rock!!!
