tough to tell how hard she pulls. We have a bunch of snow & ice on the ground. She feels fast and stable. 1st gear is a little tall...........much like the c-dale. I want to (with help from a friend) line it up beside the c-dale on dry pavement tomorrow and run some drags. I'll report back with the results. As I expected, the bike starts on the first kick and isn't tough to kick.

You have your 500 put together yet?
Partially..
I have ridden it. Currently it's weighing in at 335lbs wet and has enormous amounts of torque even though it's extremely tall geared right now.
It's only got a narrow RPM band it's generating power over right now. I need to mess with the jetting a little and see if I can build a little overrev.
Vibration isn't bad until you get into the high RPMs - once it's up there I'm not sure if it's the normal vibration of the engine or if it's worse because it's not running well on top right now. I've also still got some anti-vibe work to do.
Still unsure if I am going to complete the project. Depends on how more of the testing goes. Still have a lot of work to do as well, have to redo some of what I've done already due to problems I've found along the way.
You healing up well?
