For Coop-OT
Coop-
I want 160 rear wheel HP!!!:evil :evil :evil What dealer do you work for? got a new Mean Streak, awesome bike!! I been watching for the big brown truck to bring my new Samson slash cuts, then going to put on a Thunder Mfg. airkit. I see that they offer a hypercharger for the bike, not really sure if that would be advantageous or not. Looks to me like it would restrict more airflow than the larger, open K&N filter setup. Yea, I know that this doesn't belong here, maybe we'll find some more riders and convince Alex to start a biker's forum.  Dan

You have no control over your addictions!!!
OK, DB. Long ago I learned that 'accelleration' is a DRUG! it is so very compelling, and addicting.
Funny, some folks have no desire to go fast. Others (you and me!!  ), feel that guteral surge and can't get enough. Well, I will say that I've had enough 'fixes' in my life that I can sit back and slow down a bit. (over 70 7-second 1/4 mile dragstrip passes on a motorcycle!) Nowadays I ride a lowly 48 hp Honda NT650. Sorry! But truth be told, I still love the test rides I 'have' to take on modern sportbikes. It's a tough job!!! Nope, sorry, haven't ridden the 'Mean Streak' yet (Kawasaki Power Cruiser!). Keep that helmet on and watch the side traffic and oncoming left turners! Cool!

Coop,
It not going fast that I'm afraid of, it a sudden stop! Too many people on the streets think that you can stop on a dime, so I don't like driving too fast on the streets. Oh yea there are those pesky speed limits too. Never had the cash for anything near your drag bike. Your skills are most impressive. Bob Sigmon

Just got the samson pipes put on, and WOW!! definate performance(and sound) increase. Before, cruising at 65MPH was 3000rpm on the nose, now 3000rpm is 68MPH. I'll be putting the airkit on in the next month or so, and I'll post the difference in here. Siggi, I agree about other #######. I took a Motorcycle Safety Course when I bought this bike and I highly recommend one to EVERY cyclist, even those with years of experience. I wouldn't be opposed to it being mandatory! According to the MSD, 92% of all bike accidents involve riders who haven't been to these courses. I try to ride as defensively as possible, but there is still danger on every foot of road. Never really noticed how bad people are about tailgating until I got this bike. It is just plain stupid. If you think about, my bike is capable of coming to a complete stop from 60mph in 120', the best cars are at least twice that, so that would leave the car dragging me for quite a painful distance. Some auto ####### just don't grasp this concept. Whenever possible, I do point this out to #######. This seems to have a profound effect on them. Couold be because I am 6'3" and 280lbs, burly beard and typically wearing some kind of pit bull shirt, not really sure. I also praise the ####### who weren't tailgating me whenever possible. Longwinded post, sorry.
Dan
