After reading all your guy's replies I think I will trade it for a 100 penton. Just kidding, Thanks for some of the history. Greg

Greg,

So, is this your answer to clearing those big double jumps? More horsepower?!

Remember what happened Saturday night after the Western Reserve race? You've got to worry more about your tools hurting you than this bike will.

I bought a 1981 495 with the original dual spark plugs and high compression head. It won't start because, I think, of low compression. I haven't had any time to work on it. Last year was the MC5 project. Maybe I will get it going this year. I did ride it once - it was awesome.
