The reviews are all true. The top is very tippy and I wasn't impressed with the pull at all. Needs alot of lovin and then she might have what it takes. When I work out the bugs with mine you should take it for a spin and see what your dale is capable of with some minor mods.

Sounds good, i want to get myself in riding shape though before i start modding it, it's damm fast stock. I started modding my ex when i was riding Lacey a lot and i had the throttle pinned most of the time. After i took a hard tumble on some big whoops in 3rd gear pinned i realized i should have spend some dough on some shocks and maybe a wider axle. If i wiped out like that at on the rocks at Tower instead of the soft sand of SOuth Jersey i would have been done. But everything feels good on the Dale, and you say the Elkas still make that much of a difference? I gotta check it out.

I am noise conscious for when i ride in NJ but you know wherever i ride there is always someone else with a loud pipe! I didn't realize how loud the HMF is till i heard you coming back down the trail when the Rappy lost it's skid plate and i had my helmut off. LOUD, Like a Ted Nugent concert.:cool:
