    Good Choice Ando, would be even better if you could change the weights yourself. to custom set it for a night at the track, with about five compleat clutch plate packs let the VPC do all your work for you, dial in clutch slip, so every pass is straight & quick with real quick sixty foot times, just will need to change the clutch pack every pass. but if you know what your doing that's the key to a quick quarter mile time, with out buggering around leaning how to use the clutch to launch hard. 

    then a change back to street set up for the ride home. the beauty of that set up is you can have a clutch pull that is lighter than a stock set up, so cltch can handle all you give it but be nice and light with less stress on drive train. too agressive in the clutch and you can't get traction , i've done quicker quarter mile times with a slipping clutch than a clutch that had no slip a bit of clutch slip good.

    Always interested in what krash has to say that's for sure
    I have it set up the best I can get it as far as friction zone being as close to the bar as will allow, getting used to it the light feel and the friction zone being a bit out

    Feedback on oil temps now have the Jagg Cooler

    The temps have dropped nearly 40f with the cooler installed now showing around the 230f and not up near the 270f

    so pretty happy with that result

    Got 4000KS on it
    It feel a lot more powerful than the Softy, the Dyno sheet will tell the story.
    My mate road my Soft a few times and has ridden the Bob a coupla times and he reckons the Bob has more everywhere

    well ando the bob looks mean as and i like how you have kept it stealth looking no badges on the motor, i did the same with my street bob wiith 120r. made it look old and stockish looking.

    been thinking about doing the upgrade to the rx for a while, done about 14k on the motor now, you have gone the s&s rollers and lifters have you?

    hanging for your dyno day i bet haha

    Heh mate SS lifters and roller rockers with offset billet rocker supports
    After having the stock 120r (with some mods) in a Softy the X120 is a step up again thats for sure

    Yeah I will.. It fired tonigt and sounded sweet for 20 seonds. That'll be about it till Brian @ EBT does the dyno run in rhing and tune it. 62mm HPI, Wegner pipes.

    Should get up and do the shit..

    Here's hoping..

    Pretty east just emailed Mike at wegner and he was pretty helpful. Although a little slow..I think he's a busy man with a full plate.

    Mines' the X-pipe with twin sueprtrapps but they also make a single muffler version. Didn't really like the look of the single one. They reckon they're pretty close to same performance though.

    I was so close to getting one for the Bob

    Fraser Drag Dyna runs one. they tried all type of V&H pipes and the RSD new 2:1 pipe ( that was a big flop they reckon). The Wegner pipe same as you have worked a treat made the most HP and torque.

    I was a little scared of when Fraser wanted to charge 3k for one. if ya don't mind me asking what did it cost ya to get it into your hands? got any pic's?
