Boyce writes : - "I Bought this bike almost new (61 miles) in February, 1996, from a guy in Frankfort, IN. Too cold to ride it home, so we towed it home on a trailer behind my father-in-law's car. I got carsick from looking out the back window at it so much".

 

"In October 1996, I used Birthday money to buy a Cobra Jet Kit and Cobra 2" drag pipes. That made the bike really scream, especially at about 90 mph. A couple of weeks after putting the new pipes on I rode it to Winston-Salem, NC to visit my little brother Ryan and his girlfriend Lori at Wake Forest University. This trip took about 10 hours and was roughly 525 miles. It was a looooong ride, but I did get to see some of the Blue Ridge Mountains at sunset".

 

"Bought a Mustang seat in March 1998 through a group purchase at Kawasaki of Universal City, TX. Got a good deal and it's a great seat, although my wife isn't crazy about the passenger accommodations. Relocated the license plate while I was at it. I didn't care for the cheez-e plastic bracket that was holding it on".

 

"Installed a KuryAkyn Hypercharger in May, 1998,along with a 170 main jet in the carburettor. The Hypercharger is a ram air device that is somewhat like the blower on top of a dragster engine. It forces air in through butterflies that open when you twist the throttle".

This beautiful machine was customised and is ridden by BikerBoyce USA
I like the Hypercharger, by KuryAkyn, very, very nice :-)
