    Rubb/All, Just an FYI, I keep second guessing selling it, if I can get it to fit me. It is such a nice bike.

    I agree. Haven't ridden it yet, though I may do so. Just to see how it differs from the 4+ arm.

    Mike shortened the Gen 2 on a stock swingarm with a new chain I bought.

    I get it, Greg. Remember the price is absolutely flexible. I understand that the price I listed it at is on the high side, even considering the extent of the build. When I priced it, I figured 50% of the mods plus the price of a clean 2009. Anyone wants to make me any serious offer, I will...

    I have to say, it was fun. Thought it was set on L3, 440whp, but Mike told me later he set it to L1, Soy Boy mode just for me!!! lol I got to do one two-lane pass on a tractor trailer up in NW CT, with traffic coming at me, and leaned into it in 4th gear....what a feeling. Then on the last leg...

    I don't know how my replies got screwed up but my reply to Tom ended up in my reply to Rubb: "He hasn't yet made the decision on pump gas/retune so that is still up in the air. I'll have a discussion with him and let you know where things are going. I can tell you that if the Gen 1 sells, he...

    It is what it is, Rubb. I know you guys understand. Yea, you make sense about moving the pegs forward rather than back to take the acute angle out of the knees and ankles. I just don't know about keeping it. It was fun but I have to admit, it wasn't like I was dying to go riding. He wanted me to...

    Sorry, Tom, I forgot to get back to that. Mike has been spending a bit of time on the bike since Rich hadn't ridden it in quite a while, so when we first got it to Mike's house, it wouldn't run. It's a velocity stage 2 with meth injection, almost 14K miles on the bike. Level 1, 8psi, 260whp...

    Hey folks, just checking back in. Yesterday, Mike took his 1198SP and I took the Gen 2 and we took a ride from our location in Coventry, CT to Millerton, NY, about a 160 mile round trip. Probably about 25 miles highway and the balance on back roads. Grabbed lunch at a deli in Millerton, then...

    I have to add. It was very special. I put more miles on this bike in one ride than Rich had the opportunity to. That is the crazy part. Gotta say i wish he was here. Thanks, folks.

    Thank you, sir. It was quite special. I can't imagine how your loss has felt. I have a younger brother...hope he outlives me. I'm sure they are hanging out, looking down at our sorry butts!!!

    Hey, all, just wanted to reach back out. After weeks of persuasion, my buddy Mike talked me into riding the Gen2. He rode his Ducati 1198SP during the brief 8 mile stint. He had the '09 on level 3 at 440whp, to my surprise, the last level he rode it on. I could definitely feel the boost come in...

    OK, I found all of the paperwork for both bikes and should have them posted up in the next week or so. Complete build sheet for Gen 2, as well as 28 pages of dyno sheets with boost levels and AF curves. Haven't looked thru the Gen 1 paperwork yet.

    I understand. I'm not sure Frank initially built it, it may have been Total Kaos(?) but they appear to be defunct. Frank did do some work to it for Rich after the fact.
