I love the MP throttle. once you get it installed its super easy to change the reels. no cable adjustments necessary.

Looks good. Cool to see how similar that motor is to the one I had from '02.
That crank is sexy... KTM porn.
can't wait to hear this light off.
Picked up the motor this morning and got to work when I got back to the shop.

Looks awesome. Can't wait to toss those on.
Final part got delivered today. The photos don't do these justice. The detail work is awesome. I can't thank Mike at Diamondback Designs enough.

Beefy!
Dropped the bike off at Robs dyno today. The timing this year didn't work out so I wont be there to get it on tape. Hopefully I'll have the bike back next weekend and I'll be able to report back on what it made for power.
Got the bike back from the dyno today. Last years reading was 47 hp. I thought I had 49 but I guess I was wrong. This the bike has 52hp. I'd say that's a pretty good increase.
Fit the new clamps up yesterday. Came out awesome. Very happy with these.

52HP is pretty awesome for a motard. Why new triples? I remember you put new ones on last year during the initial build.
There was a slight fitment issue with the steering damper last year. It was the first time we saw and used the ohlins v2 damper. There wasn't enough meat on the front of the top to lock it down. I don't have a good over head shot to show. It still worked but it did come loose once. Now it shouldn't be an issue.
We also made some styling changes so we can sell them retail and people would be happy with their appearance.
