Hi Bigcreek, thanks for the info, but I have not tried it yet as I have the clutch pulled on the V right now adding some weights and changing springs and some other stuff. I do have some hills on my farm that I can do some mild testing on soon though.

The Aliens sound pretty awesome.......a lot like a mild Harley. I can't really tell if they have given me an actual performance increase yet, but as far as fit and finish they are great. I would say they are almost worth the cost just for the music they make[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I don't have the quite core.

I ride at Livingston pretty often....I rarley hit the brakes on downhills....just hit a few steep hills and get used to tagging the throttle a bit whenever the breaking lets off, you'll re-engage the breaking and slow yourself down. Sometimes...in an extremely steep / rocky situation I use my back breaks....but mostly I rely on engine breaking b/c it works so well on this machine once you get used to it.
