Default Well.... about that Goose down....

I took the T3 in for head gasket replacement and when Micha at Moto I pulled it open he found the bike still had the stock chrome bores. Color everyone familiar with the bike shocked, because everyone I've talked to thought the bike was bored out and had one of the hottest T3 motors they'd come across. Apparently it was just a damn good motor. The bad news is those chrome bores are TOAST. The good news? They're going to install a 1000cc kit so the bike should be even faster than it was. I have no idea where I'm going to come up with the money, but it will be worth every penny. Those V1000 badges will finally be legit.

Add to that a new cam and a Bub oil pan. No more hassles changing the oil filter. Hallelujah.
