i did about an hour worth of work to my triples. Hand filed all of the casting ridges of for a cleaner look. I will sand blast them, and paint them black.

Hand filed my triples for about an hour at work, then sand blasted them. No more seams and they are clean. Now for some black paint.

so i was wondering how fast my speedo would go. I hooked the magnet to the drill and entered the biggest wheel size. Got it to 310.5 mph. It would go higher. I was very suprised it would go that high.

Do you plan to paint the speedo? It's kind of bland compared to the rest.
