Anyone out there done the big bore conversion on an '09 G5?  I need to know how the relatively new systems are handling it before I launch myself down that path.

You don't know, dew yee? You can't sell that one because I can't use a bent C5 wheel. a scratched frame and part of a motor to get 45 horsepower ......  ;)

My wife says that I'm a bore, that's why I go riding without her. And it's great, especailly if I drop by a Tavern on the way back the next day or 2. ;D

It's old time biking with the gears where nature intended them and a front brake you never expected. It starts on the button and you don't have to take your hands off to signal turns. It's that bike you always wanted.
