[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 208163, member: 3959"] Turns out there was an exhaust heat shield clamp that was loose and rattling around on the header pipe. Tightened her up and went for a mile long ride. This thing is awesome. Now I know why it needs tires. Still a bit noisy in the head, but I think that it's getting closer to acceptable. I think it's probably the valve shims... When I goose it and the front tire comes up I get a big shit-eating grin on my face, but upon deceleration it has front end shake that makes me glad I wasn't going any faster. When I rock it back and forth with the front brake on there is a "loose spot" up front that I haven't been able to track down yet; everything is tight. Feels like it might be be in the tubes, but have a hard time pinpointing without someone else to help rock it. Cooling system, transmission and lights all work as they should. [/QUOTE]
