| Chad McGrew | RAK | 115 Mikunis | stock | Circlip at top of T | Vance and Hines Cruzers | 3.05 | 55 | 50 | Awesome power. Great sound. Loved the bike before. Liked it better after the RAK and drilled pipes. Can't get off it now with the V&H. It just THROBS.. Also Slammed. Runs like a bat but I may be a little rich. Going to try the 112.5s soon as I can get some. |

| DesertDog650 | H/C | 130/Mikuni | stock | 4th groove | Vance and Hines Cruzers | 3.5 | 37 | 48 | In addition to mods I also put a re-built Carb on. The previous owner let it set for a long time with gas in the carbs so they were in bad shape. He also stripped the PMS screws. The carb change is the reason for the increase in MPG. |
| DMARKJOHN | RAK with K & N Filter | 115/Mikuni | stock | shimmed with 2 washers | Vance and Hines Cruzers | 3.5 | 45 | 45 | Huge performance gain. The cruzers sound awesome! The RAK mod was much easier than I thought. |

H/C | Barons 130s | Barons 22.5 | Barons 4th | Cobra Slip-on Turn outs | 3.5 | Runs like a champ. Jetting was easier than I expected thanks to all the resources on the net. If you buy a Hypercharger, use the kit thet comes with it. The dealer suckered me into the Barons kit saying that the Hypercharger kit didn't include all the parts, but it's the same aside from the needles. Save some money and regroove your stock needles. It's easy. | ||
