Only mod is the noid delete which restricts WOT in third gear (to meet noise regulations). Love the bike and torque from the V twin. But maintenance is high. The valves need to be adjusted every 8k miles. The rear sprocket is aluminum.

Note the front brake is a perimeter brake system. Fuel is in the frame. I bought the bike because I appreciate engineering.

That'll be a collectors item someday. Very cool bike to have!

Harley fucked over Erik Buell and his company, and basically ensured it wouldn't ever threaten their main line.

Buell bikes are finally starting as a new company again, but I wouldn't ever credit any of Erik's success to Harley's dumbfuckery
