WHOLLY SHIT! I got to do a start up today! :evil: Two and a half years I have waited for this. I can tell you right now that the audio on the video does NOT do this pipe any justice. I will get a better one up this weekend once I get her out of the garage.

Here is a link to the YouTube video I uploaded for you:

I will Steve. Have to go back to work tomorrow. I absolutely have to get my garage cleaned up. Waiting on a chain any way. Still need to add fluid to the brakes and clutch. Still trying to decide if I should go DOT 3 or something else. If I go with DOT4 I will have to disassemble everything and get it all cleaned out. I am leaning towards DOT3. I am now itching to ride. This weekend will be the test ride. I will make a better video out in the sun and do a thorough explanation.

I thought DOT 3 and 4 were compatible but DOT 5 was not?

Well...I'd go DOT 3 and do the rest as I go. I know the feeling. B)

Sounds freakin' amazing!

Brake fluids can get really confusing. Dot 3 and Dot 4 are compatible but Dot 5 is not. Now, Dot 5.1 is compatible with Dot 3 and Dot 4, but not with Dot 5. :S Who comes up with this stuff?? :laugh:
