All i have left to buy is a DCB, footbar, hopefully SS plate!
I actually bought a dirt cheap 52t sprocket just to see how I like it. If it's overkill I'll pick up a quality 49t. But yea, it's a lot/city terrorizing bike and it'll go on the 50mph max to get to the lot which is 2 minutes from my house.
I got to go ride for just a little bit yesterday when the rain cleared for 30 minutes. I can totally see what everyone was saying about it being like a big 50. Right now everything is still stock with no idle mods either so doing slow wheelies was a little tricky (for me at least; being used to the old f4i's 3k idle pull). I'm probably just really rusty. I sold my F4i half a year ago and haven't even been on a bike until now.
On this bike, will turning up the idle help the choppyness of the throttle? When I brought up a slow wheelie to BP i made the mistake of closing the throttle a couple times and even when getting back into the gas the slightest bit it felt like the bike would bog for a second and then get too much power causing me to have to jam the brake a bit starting a neverending cycle of chasing bp and then hanging out behind bp.
