Awesome holes. I just wish this junk computer had a working exclamation point.

Looks nice, but how are you going to change the ‘648cc’ stamp?😉

S&S camshaft and Rekluse clutch.  Down the road I’ll also probably upgrade the front brake reservoir to the Brembo RCS15, though I’m in no hurry to do that.

Where you getting a fuel/ignition map from ?  Hitchcock has a stage2 cam. But it cost double of what S&S costs

I’ve had the S&S cam for some time now, since before Hitchcock’s brought out their version.  As for the map, I’m having the ECU flashed in lieu of a Power Commander.

My 2004 Moto Guzzi "Breva 750" sports a Brembo RCS-15 master cylinder and it's a fine upgrade.

A post from Bilgemaster on a different thread inspired me to name my soon-to-be 865 Interceptor: "The Basmati Rocket"

Aesthetically, the Dr Mayhem is my favorite of the twins. I like the way the yellow piping on your Corbin seat reflects the tank.

Thanks! That's what I had in mind with the yellow piping.
