HELL its faster than i thought it would be nearly looped a few times on the first few laps over some jumps and over shot a lot of corners forgot there is no engine braking what so ever compaired with the fourbanger , glad i changed the main from 170 to168 running realy crisp perfect plug colour well chuffed handles realy well gos like a bullet realy realy have to be switched on almost lost it a few times !!
the day was spoiled though by the exhaust snapping just at the point where the stinger is welded onto the expansion box , had a solid mount on the rear , the bolt came loose not sure if that was the cause or lack of rubber mount , gonna fit one anyway and weld and brace that part!
pictures to follow 8-)

something to consider, the 450 swingarm is a bit longer, so if your having issues with it rearing up consider a 450 swingarm.

the rearing up is due to a brand new rear tyre and my throttle hand being a bit eager! wouldnt use the longer swing arm and sacrifice the turning ability , but thanks anyway . i am loving the extra bhps clutching out of the corners is heaven ,real kick in the pants :-D

I have a contour HD also, I had trouble with it cutting off on it's own when I first got it. Contacted them, they sent
a newer,thicker battery and it seemed to have fixed the prob. Here is a vid taken with mine.
