I love those bikes. But I think I read somewhere that they had a cooling problem that made the heads warp. Not sure what the solution was but I'm sure it's not a big deal.
Just keep it over 100 mph and there's no cooling problem. :laugh:

Never heard that one. It is known that they have a problem with oil starvation to the #3 rod.
My dad has a '94 D-model and it's not a corner carver but it's silky smooth. They make awesome sport-tourers.
I had to crack into his engine about 5 years ago. He bougth his with a gear problem. I had to replace a shift fork, and a couple of the gears. Pretty easy actually. If you need to service the tranny you can split the cases without removing the top end.
If you're not setting the bike up for the strip, I'd get the suspension pieces for it. Check into Racetech and see what they recommend.
Enjoy you're new ride.

I had a '92 "C" model with a pipe, filter, jet kit, and power-pack. It put up 129.8 bHp at the rear wheel, and cranked off 10.5 @ 135mph - 1.7 60ft - with my 195lb ass in the saddle. Drove it 70 miles to the track, ran it hard all night long, and drove it 70 miles right back home. It was a Timex, sold it to a buddy of mine when I started grad school; he's still got it, it's got 35K+ on it, runs like a champ...but for some reason it still goes through rear tires like a hot-knife through butter, and needs steering head bearings inside 10K, also! :woohoo:

BTW, somewhere around my parents house is a V&H Power Pack for a C-model. Let me know if you're interested and I'll try to find it for you.
Post pics when you can.
