I have forward controls and I like them. Depending on how tall you are can be a problem, I'm 6ft tall. You lose a little bit of a leaning angle. I've scraped the bottom of the pegs a few times.

You joined 3 months ago an your trying to say 10hp lost is nothing. I'm pretty sure it's 10whp loss which is a lot. That's losing over 10% over a stock Gen1. When a proper exhaust an jet kit can gain over 10% whp. It's been proven for over 20yrs.

I don't an wouldn't give anything. It's hard enough to be competitive with a almost 30yr old bike. But I make it work, anything from a dig to 90 or 100mph. I can make just about any bike worry about losing. Unless they have launch control with finger up shifts.

I grew up an live in Muncie Indiana guess where the GM muncie 4spd was built. I seen/rode in just about anything that GM offered in a 4spd. It did help my dad worked for GM from the late 60's to the early 90's.

I was just FN with you, I believe an know you more about any motorcycle then I could ever know. Everyone F's up trying to help every once in awhile.

Your a brother from a different mother lol

I didn't know Blueprint Engines had there own Blocks now. I still have a 70's 351w with 25yr old iron Dart Sr heads. But the only thing Ford is the block.

A lot of People don't realize what a sub 2800lb car can do with 500hp.

I hope it has 3 freeze plugs/casting plugs.

You know you can buy a different sets of foot controls an seat modifications. Raising the rear will just make the bike handle worse than stock without a lot of other modifications. Is it the angle comfort your setting or leg an arm movement. I went with forward controls an a 2" riser with angled...

Anything removed from behind the back of the exhaust will help. Isn't anything worse than fixing a leak on the slip joint right rear. If you have a aftermarket exhaust.
