Thanks to Stew for selling me the flywheel
Thanks to Kevin for doing an incredible job machining a part that no one will ever see again
Thanks to Duc vet for taking the time on a Saturday to put the thing in my monster
Thanks to Nate and T for putting me up for the night despite their hectic schedule

Oh, and a special thanks to the D-Bag on american iron who couldn't wait in stopped traffic with the rest of us. you almost ran over the legs of one of the accident victims when you cut lanes/swerved in an out between emergency workers and the ambulance...all so your Hardly Driveable wouldn't overheat during the ten minutes you would have waited with the rest of us...

much more "pep"  [evil]

truthfully, i think i am going to have to make some adjustments. the bike feels like it wants to stall at an idle now, especially when it hasnt warmed up yet.
