Hcomras...i'm in utah but i do appreciate the offer! The exhaust cam if i remember correctly is just an $80 DS exhaust cam right?

How hard is it to install, this winter i'm definitely wanting to get into something like that, will have to check on a dyno tuning shop here locally! 3 runs weren't that expensive for bullet bikes in CO.

For engine mods, pink wire cut, air lid drilled. Everything else has been heavily modified. I live in northern WI. Thanks for the info and offer, but a little to far to drive. Am planning on a Ron Woods stage one kit this winter. Do you feel that the exaust cam mod is worth it?

"Heavly" wasn't the best word to use, compaired to some of my friends' atvs, mine is heavly modified. Though compaired to some people's on here, mine only has a few mods.





So far the list is this:
Epic long travel a-arms
KYB long travel front shocks
ASR tierods
Streemline brakelines
Honda front master cylinder
Flexx Handlebars
Precision pro steering stablizer
HID front lights w/ mounting bracket
Cut plastic
holes drilled into the plastic for greater air flow across the gas tank
Header wrapped
Blingstar ultralite bumper
And for now thats it, hopefully after this winter there will be another few lines to update here.

E-85 destroys “bare” aluminum and magnesium, our fuel pumps are not “bare” nor is any component on our DS fuel system, bare AL has little strenght and use on quads, cars, etc.....we have chemical treated aluminum to protect against corrosion and erosion, provide strength, etc, and we have no mag other than as an alloy of frame components. It’s destroys rubber over time, how fast depends on the polymer….we been running it over 1.5 years seen none…one could run braided steel lines, pay for them with all the gas money you save if your that concerned. It’s also electrically conductive, we don’t send that through our gas tank no worries.

E-85 burns cleaner, detonates less, is cheaper, there are timing and power benefits to be found if you know how to tune to it.
