Re: high conpression head ??
I like my 6:1 Snyder’s head, but now that the Burtz head is available, I’d strongly consider it. Be aware that you will want to limit your spark advance.

Re: Safety cage?
A real roll cage like race cars have would be a very extensive modification. I rely on the experience of 60 years of driving and 54 years of motorcycle riding to avoid accidents. Riding in a 2024...

Re: Wheel stud replacement
I don’t see how a light touch with a hole saw to cut away the swaging ruins the hub. Done right, none of the hub or drum is touched.

Re: Left Lights On By Mistake
