Kinda surreal...that really just happened?

Not happy with the brakes...not sure how much of that is "new" vs. "something's not right."

Pleasantly surprised that the manual steering is fine and the hydraulic clutch worked flawlessly.

And holy crap it's loud...good thing I don't have neighbors nearby. My buddy drove it after me...my driveway is nearly a quarter mile long and I couldn't believe how loud it *still* was when he turned around at the bottom.

That sounds like an animal.

Um yea... open headers will always be really loud. I did that once in my normal suburban neighborhood and quickly decided my friendly neighbors might not be so friendly if I did it again. It will sound different with the side pipes. Assuming nothing is wrong with your brakes, just normal bedding in will make a huge difference. Congrats on the big milestone!

Whats in there for a motor? Sounds great.
