[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 33158, member: 2708"] I gave the Glenli several good tries last night, best was 4.9 seconds according to the Dakota Digital speedo. The speedo was calibrated by gps so it should be very accurate. This is with the donor motor, roughly the same tuning as a US Black Shadow (werent they 8 to one rather than 7.3?), but with the advantage of the Rapide or late Shadow lower first gear. Disadvatanges are the 230 lb rider and the taller than stock gearing. The light weight of the bike seems to more than make up for this. A faster shifting trans would help. The permanent engine will get that with the quaife. It will be interesting to compare times with the different engines. Glen [/QUOTE]
