[QUOTE="RazMan, post: 225856, member: 6030"] Just spent a very interesting hour or so reading through your beloved Hooch's build and I think you and I have a very similar approach to challenges. Looks like I will be doing some caveman mods to the pistons with my Dremel ( what's the worst that could happen! :D) but apart from that it looks like there shouldn't be too many things that can't be sorted out with a hammer or angle grinder.:LOL: Interesting that you mentioned the gearing - I had a similar issue on my last build, a '96 Triumph Trophy 1200. After losing all of the unnecessary weight like the fairing, stock exhausts and other stuff, the acceleration was very brisk but it really felt like it needed an 'extra gear'. Luckily that was sorted with a simple sprocket change but the Wing of course is not so easy. I am running the standard 1200 box and diff so I might have to change something if I want it to feel comfortable on motorway runs. That's yet another thing to add to my list ..... damn this forum!:oops::ROFLMAO::sick: [/QUOTE]
