Kerry... my extra long torso distributes my weight pretty good on most bikes. If I rode over the tank anymore on the 10... Id look like a hood ornament on a 50s Cadillac...hehehe

Mounted the Scotts tonight, fits great, finish is first rate, function is on par with the best but, you have to cut the key at an angle to get it to turn the ingition on once everything is completely finished. Hmm, should have bought the Ohlins, I know, I know, Ohlins designed the Scotts damper, but you don't have to modify the key to fit the Ohlins damper.
Apparently Im not the ONLY one that feels the need.

I will be putting a dampner on as well.
Although I feel the bike is designed well and does not feel unstable, it is very clear that the front wheel does not have much to do with the ground under acceleration.

Got over 1000 miles on bike, today, so ran it a bit harder.
Accelerated up to 125 mph , going up a 7 % grade.
Really needs a dampner when going hard, uphill. Going uphill make bike more prone to geting light on the front end. Front end was mildly squirmy through a couple of gears.
On flat ground, accelerated to 156 mph , and bike was stable.
Slowed down to 50 mph, downshifted to 1st gear. Rolled it on in 1st, pinned throttle 2nd through 5th, shifting at 10,000 rpm. Bike was stable and still pulling when I shut down.

Chris... do you think there is any severe hp loss at that elevation?
At sea level.. the front wheel just hovers over the pavement with my 6'2" 196lb frame.

I'll find out, tomorrow, when I run Carlsbad quarter mile.
Altitude would lose some hp, but still run strong.
That altitude would add half a second to quarter mile et, and lose 5 to 7 mph on trap speed.
Also, depends on how far you are down on front of bike with body weight. Will wheelie more if you sit upright.
