Most of you know I bought Betsy (I don't like Carr Names, so this might be the last time I call this Carr Betsy) from HotShoe. It only has 4X,xxx Miles from New. I'm going to Paint her (the same color - Alaska Blue Metallic, she needs it), pull the Rear Fenders to put my Revolutions on her.

But I have a 2.5 Twin-Plug 911 Motor, & plenty of Parts to do a Conversion.

So should I do the Conversion, sell the 2.0 Four, SS Heat Exchangers, Fuchs, Triad?

Or

Keep the Drivetrain the way it is, because there is nothing wrong with it?
