^^^^ as always, thanks Jim!!

Not sure if anyone here is following the "build" portion but there are preliminary "warm up" numbers for the first key turn.

Without any efforts in tuning, just a start up to make sure things worked Shawn rolled up to 5500 and it posted a 700 number

Progress has been slow waiting for the completion of the bullet....looks like it might be another couple months before we call it " done". Then we can get into fitting this thing between the fenders (mainly under the cowl)...and start working on the stuff not pictured yet......going to be a loooong winter

But one helluva 2012!
