That's great Greg! When you didn't punch in on Sat. I got worried you were having some troubles. This is understandable, I have them all the time!

My Video's of the start up are almost downloaded and will be posting them up next.

The Black Widow showed its attitude during the first start up but smoothed right out once it got warmed up!

Put all of the fluids in the bike last night to make sure nothing was leaking!

After a little adjustment with the air screw- Bam! She fired up on the 2nd kick!

The SP26- Sleeper Pipe sounds awesome- Love that crackle!



Sorry for all of the moving around with the camera.... I was listening and watching everything to make sure there were no surprises...


Click on the pic to start the video... you know the drill!
