Yep. So far mine has done double duty as a rear-end jack too It also works pretty good as a carnival ride for 3 year olds

What kind of issues did he have with the tranny? Does anyone remember? I have the same one and wanted to know how much the stock one could hold. Is if 500hp and drag racing it alot or 600hp and you pay attention to it and don't abuse it too bad?
Thanks!
Everything looks great. Nice bike by the way.

the only thing wrong with the 80e is that the 1-2 WOT shift isn't right. Everything else seems solid. There's a good chance it's something very simple. However, I have over 80 passes on it at the strip and the timing is right. I'm going with an FLT Level 4.

Holy hell Grippy, that thing looks great! I wish my engine bay was THAT clean. I pulled the intake off mine a few weeks back and was disgusted.

I think so, I've talked with Vince several times regarding the upgrade. The L4 80e seems like the best fit, supporting about 800rwhp. Hopefully I can get the trans pulled this weekend
