Just got my 550. Got some questions?

FM Former Member
Hi guys,
I just took delivery of a Beck 550 (1999 or 2000 I beleive) I love it!
It goes like a rocket and makes more noise than by buddies Harley!
I'm told it has a 185hp motor but I can't verify that claim. It obviously has a very hot cam as it sounds like it's running on two cylinders until 2,600 rpm. Then all hell breaks loose!

Anyway can anyone suggest a make and size of car cover. (I figgered one for a Miata would be ok) please confirm.

I'm located in Costa Mesa CA. I have a lot of experiance with Alfas, Triumphs but none with VW/air cooled motors and I am a self proclaimed failure when it comes to tunning Webbers.
Can any one recomend a knowedgable/reputable local shop to service my little beast!

Thanks in advance.
