took a 170 miler today from C'ville west to Staunton then down to Lexington, over to the Blueridge and back home again. What I noticed was kinda like when I got my hearing aids for the first time 20 years ago. I didn't know what i wasn't hearing. There was such a quiet consistency to the ride. Accelerated quickly, consistently. I noticed where before, I would want to switch from 5th gear to 6th around 65 mph. For some reason I rode very comfortably in 5th @ 65 and up to about 75.???
The engine just sounded better, "felt" better. I did not notice any great difference in hp. Gas mileage was down a little but i expected that. The temp of my oil ranged from 188-204 with a kuryakyn digital read out. The ambient temp was between 42-48. That is way too cold for me....but the ride was so nice I hardly noticed until i got home. Then i shook like jelly for about 30 min.
The V&H fuelpak is the best thing I have done for this bike, IMHO....again, thanks all, for all your hep!
