Greenhorn? Carlos? 
Perhaps the good Friar could change 1087's member title to something more descriptive? Tech Guru comes to mind. Sir Parallel Twin another.

We need a smiley that does backflips...
NW Lunch in Chehalis Wa is this weekend and that will easily put me over the 500 mile break in mark (if I don't do it sooner). That means I switch to synthetic oil which means I can freely let her rip (with caution as I don't know my actual a/f ratio for sure).
May 8th at 9am the bike goes to the dyno for a tuning session. Of course I will post those results here as well as some butt dyno impressions and maybe even a ride by video

One of these day's Carlos is going to get all my money. I'm going to pack Elvira up and ship her off to California to get the full 1087 treatment. I'm even going to let them keep it till they get it past the break in and have it all tuned up nice and sweet. When I get her back I'm going to ride her like a rented mule. Ah yes... one day, one day.

Since a 1087 is a stroked 994 its only one step further (removing the crank since the engine cases will be split anyway. Carlos was telling me that its a bit much for a cruiser... but can you REALLY ever have too much 
I keep running circles in my head about this. 
I keep telling myself I don't want that much power on such a light bike. I don't think its working.

Tons of power in a light bike = fun, fun, fun it would seem to me. It's thinkin' outside the box and I like that. Z, you are an inspiration!
