Vincent,
Let Peggy know that she's in our prayers for a quick and full recovery.
We're looking forward to see you out flogging that 12 one day, don't matter if it's next week or next year.
What part of God's country are you thinking about moving to?
Dan

Where the prople think that November and December is a good time to send a Flag to New York! 
My Hope is to be there in the WInters and maybe in SA for Our Summers! Maybe get to use the alternate landing site for the space shuttle for some Land Speed Racing!

Say Dan, did you do any head porting on your build?

I cleaned up some rough castings and matched my boots years ago when I had the head off to remove the base gasket.
I had a buddy do some port work this time and a valve job since the motor has quite a few miles on it.
Nothing too radical, still has the stock valves although I did replace the valve springs with good ones since I installed Karls old Muzzy cams.
With the cams and cam timing along with the Pro Pipe the bike feels kinds soft down low and thru the mid range but pulls good up top. I was hoping the 1287 kit would give it some snap down low but it ain't gonna happen. Gonna have to gear it pretty low for playing on the street.
Wish the weather would break........I'm really wanting to put some more miles on it.

I didn't figure the 1287 to feel like my 14 down low, and it doesn't. Then again my 14 has it by 65cc, a couple teeth of gearing, and is about 60 lbs. lighter. I am also running the pro pipe, which is probably sapping some bottom end grunt, as well.
It sure makes up for it on top though.
I'm sure yours is going to be quite a runner.
