[QUOTE="ekvh, post: 134460, member: 1179"] I really like mine just the way it is right now. I think I'd go supercharger before dual Webber's. Bought a 93 Seville STS which has been consuming my energies as well as a few bucks. $600 and it's pretty clean. New crank sensors, ignition module and plug wires and it's running well. Needs a radiator and a fan. I hope that's it. Northstar motors are impressive. I rolled an 83 1100 into my garage to chop. I think I will rake this one quite a bit more and put my Magna forks on it, then put the 1100 forks on Schizoid. I have the forks up 5" in the trees right now in Schizoid and like the height and ride. I hope to move my footpegs somewhere more comfortable too. They seem awkward getting my feet on them. I believe I lowered and moved my seat back a few inches from stock, which made the pegs made a bit too far forward. It's hard for me to get my feet up and on the pegs likely due to my bad hips. I cut the material off the back so it's a bobber now. I'm hoping to make a rear seat backrest which can be easy-on easy-off. I have another 1200 for $500 if I could get it past my wife. The bike needs a stator, the wife needs------ more than a stator. I should sell a few things and snag that. I would love to have a naked 1200 with 1000 heads to compare rides. [/QUOTE]
