Synthetic - waste of $$

Valve adjustment - I'm at about 10k miles, 7k with 351 kit, my valves have never needed adjustments FWIW.

I hit 500miles along time ago and thats when I started modding. Added my silencer first. Ran that for awhile till my mega bomb came in. Noticed a big diff with just the silencer. Then noticed a big diff when I added the header. I wish they would put hrs on bikes like they do on atvs. I always go by hours on everything if it has it. Miles are not accurate. But its nice knowing how many you've gone. My atv does alot of idling and very slow trails.

I would do the Big Bore first (if you are interested in it anyway). That will be single biggest power improvement you can do for these bikes.

Do you remember where you bought it from. I've been looking at a power bomb at BikeBandit for about 170.00 which isn't bad but still looking for a deal.

Thanks!

Big Bore (331) kit will take place this summer. With two other bikes, I have to ease these things in. Momma can only take so much.

I seem to recall that in one of your posts, you mentioned that you like a quite muffler. Am I right? If so, what are you running on your bike?
Thanks
