Excellent observation. I suspect that rev potential will also be similar.

Incidentally, I really like the stainless steel, exhaust header on the AJP PR5 motorcycle. Besides the
material and shape of the header, I also like the location of the O2 sensor bung.

I'm wondering the same thing. I suspect that a connection will be made at the diagnostic port, much like you'd do with an OBDII system.

After watching some of the Dobeck videos, I am very impressed with the engineering talent and manufacturing capabilities of their operation.

The track for the Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route has just been posted. With a length of 1,250 miles, this is an epic route.

It's the longest BDR yet. I think one would have to budget 14 days to make the loop. I know for a fact it's a beautiful ride.

Might we expect the Los Angeles Times to print an upcoming review of the Zongshen RX3? Check out the CSC blog.

That story was very funny! It wasn't long before I got lost in that blog, scrolling down over the last several posts.

That story was funny. Joe is a good writer, and an even better photographer.
