if ya get a Medina, get a mill from Firepower...Terry builds some awesome motors and he stands behind his work 110%....even if ya do not get a Medina, look to Terry for your engine needs...he is absolutely the best motor vendor on the PM

Re: NEWBIE FROM Chicago... looking to get started
I have a Kawasaki KLX110 and a Pister Pro LXR 12.

I like them both, but I will need to dump some $$ into the KLX110 just to get it to hang with the LXR.




I like the Pitster so much I am working on getting a LXM 160 motard
