Ram, I'll let you ride this thing when we hook up for the relay. For what's in it i'ts the nastiest 1075 I've ever rode. Top end was purpose done for nitrous and it seems to work really well even without the spray. What I should really do is leave this thing alone and start either on the turbo or the 75Z1 but we are back on the house again and those 2 projects deserve more attention than I could possibly give them.

Had a chance to hook up with Ram and do some riding, turned out to be a great day! Not many miles but a good time none the less. Big thing is we managed to work up a game plan for running the 19" front wheel with the ZX forks. Mocked up the fork/wheel assembly and got most of the spacers made. Worked out pretty slick!
Some pics after we finished our day.

We had a great time as well, look forward to doing it again, only some better roads where the local work release program of stoners aren't doing the paving! :woohoo: Maybe I can get the girlfriend to go with me next time. Can't wait to see some of the other pics you guys took, maybe some Trudy took while on the road. :whistle:
