First Ride, Carpenter 265 kit

Did you have to take your bike to their shop in NJ?
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I had the Rocket out today and in stock form it is fast but it is not scary or overly intimidating to me. I hate to say it but I’d like to have a bit more. I may be insatiable.

I don't consider mine scary or intimidating either, but the ability to outrun 1000cc sport bikes with an 800lb cruiser is a rush. Also passing 175 mph knowing that you haven't gotten into 5th gear yet makes me smile.

 
I should say, it doesn't become any harder to control than stock. Still a very easy bike to ride with smooth and easily modulated throttle response, there's just a lot there when you roll it all the way open.
 

Just curious, Rob, but what is **** and *******?
OH, and how many days wait for you until the next Bremerton run?

Tax season.... . Ordering it raw, fitting, welding into two pieces, and getting coated black.

Just to clear my noggin' . . . With you CES, are you now running a Carp tune NOT from Tune ECU?
How will you re tune for the Carp header?
Does Nels do Tune Boy?
Lastly . . . remember July 16th!
