These are the girls i go with   :wink: all i know about the k5 is that it has a cool head, fmf powercore, and boyesen carbon reeds that were just installed(reed stops in or out for those?) and the honda is factory other than the kick stand and bark busters........... oh and the head has had a full workover by RacersER with all new more durable materials: seats, guides, titanium valves, and some fabulous port work

Foxx4Beaver:
get a close-up of the K5 head....we can just barely see it :-D

younGun:
looks pretty good right?  :-D

younGun:
this is the fourth or fifth ride and i swear it is faster everytime. now its moved from pretty strong and torquey to either the back wheel is spinning or the front one is coming off the ground. im guessing it mustve been sitting for a while. other than that it leaks from the overflow hoses sometimes, still wont idle long, and it still goes clickety clack. but its improving with use and also nothing has blown up yet hahaha. anybody else have their factory tank crack where the shrouds bolt to it? mine was cracked when i got it. cant afford a tank yet is there any way to patch it?(JB Weld doesnt work gas everywhere, silicone has lasted one ride but is peeling already)

younGun:
reed stops or no reed stops?
