I'll be putting some time (approximately 10 hours) on the Ultra
before I radar it. If the weather wasn't so shitty, I'd be out there
today..... It's cold, damp and miserable around here!

Get working on those mods. I need mine to go 70 so no one can read
"Performance Engineering " stickers on it.
I have no doubt you can build me another rocket. I just need one before
April 25th.

James,
skip the miracle oil and just dust a little boraxo down the throat of
those carbs and let's get than break-in over with quick
:)

[James Crone]

Naaaaaah, Snapper..Those nickasil bores need some time to seat the rings
properly. Plus, I'd like to have one of the "fastest" stock Ultras out
there.

[James Hornyak]

Break it in your way Jim-- and remember those initial cool downs --Damn
I hated waiting 45 Minutes in between but it pays!!! I hope yours is
the fastest
because of your break-in?? Sarge 707

Walt,
Based on your experience so far, what is harder to hang onto?
1. Stock STX hull in rough water at 60 mph
2. Ultra150 in rough water at 65
3. the bull at Gillies
4. a bag of groceries while falling down a flight of stairs

Walt,
How are the ergonomics? Do you plan to build the seat up for racing or
is it high enough already? How about for a long-legged rec rider?

I'm 5'8" and 155 lbs, 30" inseam, I found the ergonomics to suit me fine. The
seat to handle bar relationship is very nice. The placement of the
trim/stop button took some getting used to though. It is like a Yamaha with the
start button on top now(older Kawi's had it on the drivers side of the switch)
I found that for the first part of the day when I would go to activate the trim
I would hit the kill button(try that at 65mph)..after about 45 minutes I was
able to retrain my brain.
When I race one I will put on a grippy seat cover, but I dont believe it will
be necessary for someone my height to build up the foam.
Hydro Turf has mats and a seat cover for the Ultra already, plus they now have
a splash gaurd that may be helpful for closed course racers....

I *accidently* hit the stop button as well during a speed burst on the
Ultra today. Not fun :)

I'm 5'10, 180 pounds and I'm very comfortable on the Ultra.

You skinny people disgust me.....

Larry....
Well, at least my INSEAM is the same as Walt's.
