8/17/2009 10:24:57 AM by XRWalt - Nice! Classic power, good luck! I'll be out there running a ULY, but I'll stop by to check out your rig.

9/4/2009 9:55:24 AM by citizen soldier - That is one bad ass ride, good luck!

9/9/2009 8:06:46 AM by XRWalt - I looked for you but didn't see your bike. How did you do? I got a pretty much stock Uly with a full windshield (w/extensions) and three large metal touring bags -- up to 101.675. I bet you beat my time. You got the aero thing going on!

9/23/2009 10:47:36 AM by bruin - Nice, where can I get one?

10/12/2009 11:58:49 AM by lee vaf - What is your top speed in that lovely work of your bike. I say 120 top, but I would like to know for sure.

4/4/2010 1:58:43 AM by Bruin - Sorry for the late answers. I ran the engine in stock, as found on eBay, configuration. No first gear, smoked a bit and had to use the stock K carb. Did reduce the the rear sprocket. So, for a worn out stock engine with only slipstream going for it, I was happy to hit 101 before I blew it up. We are going back in 2010. Sorry we missed ya XR Walt, look for team STD.
