1st ride with RB Designs head and carb

[ramcclure200]

Here is some video I took yesterday 8/27/11 this was my first ride after reinstalling head and carb that was sent to RB to work his magic.
The video is after we did a spider clearing run so I was getting tired and heart rate was banging.
I am extremely happy and my only regret is that I didn't have this done right after i bought the bike wow! what a difference it has made it is such a joy just to have the bike sit and idle but its changed much more than that, in the videos you can here i'm just lugging it and its still smooth and ready to go with a little more twist of the throttle and when i close the throttle i don't have to do the clutch throttle blip thing to keep it from stalling. He definitively raised the compression which is noticeable when i cranked it the first time oh yea it cranked 1st kick.
The mixture screw that he sells is great don't get the carb mods without getting the screw for sure, with his instructions on tuning it works great and is easy, within 10 minutes it was dialed in and ready to ride.
I now have to get tires and brakes and get in better shape because it feels like i have bought a new motor and i'm stoked and ready to start riding regular again.

here are the same videos posted on youtube I loaded these straight from the camera to see if it helps viewing quality, please give me some feed back because i'm still new to helmet cam stuff and curious if video looks better on youtube or contour.

It all looks good as you have 720 available. What computer/software are you using? Your terrain looks a lot like our southern NJ Pine Barrens.

I have a Dell laptop Studio xps that I got July 2010 its got i7 core 8GB memory and windows 7 ultimate.
When I was watching on un-expanded screen mode it seems to look slightly better on you tube vs contour but full screen it looks like contour is better than youtube now i'm talking very slight differences, i guess I was trying to see if better to load straight from camera to online or contour I have to load on computer 1st then upload but I have noticed better quality watching from camera to computer vs online. I also have a Sony software program Vegas movie studio HD that I briefly tried and i got blurred video, probably something i'm not doing right because it looks like there is going to be a learning process with that program i'll have to figure out so I can do some editing. I saw some other post that guys are using imovie on mac's, now my daughters have macs i could possibly use if imovie is an easy program to use don't know.

Is the soil sandy as well in NJ area? i'll have to say these trails are going to be fun once we get them done getting help has been hard but then again it is summer and temps in the 90's.
