SL2....NO horsepower is cheap. You can add the power cheap but you can't keep the motor together cheap. That is what Frankie was referring to by going cheap, adding horsepower but not beefing anything up to hold the power. I spent a whopping $1100 on my turbo set up, but I got $3k in the motor to handle the extra HP (and still need more).

So about $20K before you start adding all the little things here and there that eventually get expensive (suspension, drive train, clutch, etc.).
It get's up there pretty quick.
Now throw in the labor and parts (cranks, rods, bearings, machining, etc.) associated with the builds and rebuilds and it gets ugly.

i know that silly old man. i have been telling cecil that with all the money in that bike he needs to get forged internals already and be done with it.
but for instant gratification n2o will get it to you the fastest and cheapest. it may cause more problems down the road but right then and right now cheapest.

Big Red is back in the stable with a fresh new motor.
Gonna break it in over the next few days, flush it out again, and let her rip!
Thinking about going back to stock length and raising if back up.
It's more fun as a wheelie-monster than a wheel-spinner.

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”
