  1. If you do want to stick with what you have its pretty easy to re-jet, all the info is available for how to do it, alternatley,Dynojet do off the shelf jet kits which are awesome and come with full instructions for install and tuning.

    Used one of these on my gsf1200 engine... Works primo!think they're about $100us

  2. If it was dark, they were probably basing their judgement on the sound of the car, rather than actually seeing it (other than headlights pointing directly at them..., from which point speed of acceleration is very hard to determine anyway).

    Therefore you could easily prove that the car sounds like its going fast even when taking off normally... As most cars like this do.

    If you see headlights coming at you an lots of noise... You think it's going fast.

    This is the reason why cars have high stop lights on the back, because it is impossible to accurately judge speed, distance etc with two lights, you need 3 to make some kind of triangulation to make an accurate judgement.

  3. I was very nervous about riding on my firestones as I have read horror stories about how shit they are, and I'm running a 4.0 on the front!

    I have been pushing mine harder and harder on each ride and am now grinding the shit out of my pegs and other undercarriage junk on every corner.

    The rubber compound is soft as my butt cheese and I havnt had the front or rear come even close to stepping out.

    One thing you gotta remember is that Americans are complete poofs and their road surfaces are made from completely different shit than ours.

    These are no super bike tires but can definitely be pushed way harder than I ever imagined they could.

  4. Shit no, they're more than that, I think we paid about $360 per tire for the 4.5 wide ones.

    Plenty of other cool tires available but only in gay Harley sizes, I think a few of the cheap Chinese brands are gonna start doing some similar stuff in the future.. Until then it's all about the Firestones.

    And the tread is about 4 foot deep which is ideal or extended burnout sessions ( its like watching dollar signs flying off your tire)
