[edit] Deletion debate

clearly a popular article, with various edits etc. No reason to delete in my view.

It does seem worth noting that the AfD took place in January 2006 -- eight months ago. The version being discussed at the time was also very different from the current version. With that in mind, I'm opting not to speedy the article; anybody is welcome to start {{prod}} or {{afdx}} efforts if they so choose. Luna Santin 18:56, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for nipping the speedy in the bud. There was another deletion review in August 2006 where the prejudice against a new article was removed. Unfortunately, this doesn't show up in the logs, so well-meaning exclusionists are effectively invited to speedy this article by the seemingly clear evidence that it needs to be deleted. I'm trying to keep a watch on it to keep it alive while keeping my flamethrower pilot light lit. —BozoTheScary 22:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is missing

• current production rate
  • preferably broken down by engines types (do they sell any more kits?)
  • what transmission options are sold?
  • broken down by bikes v. trikes
  • trikes broken down by rear ends
• sources of stock parts
  • aren't the pegs Kuryakyn?, etc.
• sources of aftermarket parts
  • does Lehman do a trike kit for Boss Hoss?
• (non-copyvio) photos! photos! photos! (old models and new models)
• special kit builds (like the V10 in the "external links")
• more info about the stock nitrous kits and what if any performance numbers are applicable
• famous owners?
• performance stats
  • 0-60
  • 0-100
  • quarter mile
• hp/torque ratings for all engines/models (possibly with nitrous)
