There are two in the picture, but one is a good friend of mine's.  I just happen to have enough room in the garage to store both for the winter.

Took off the clear indicator lenses that didn't quite fit (tab end kept popping out) and reinstalled orange items. Nice and snug now!  [thumbsup]

Spied the 39 tooth sprocket in the spares box, that I'll use to replace the worn 40 tooth tooth sprocket! It'll keep me going for a bit longer.  [Dolph]

Aaaahhh spares!  [beer]

I read an article in a magazine a few years back about the difficulties of building a big bore air-cooled engine.  There is actually a lot of design work to balance power, heat management, piston clearances, emissions etc that goes in.

Never. Riding is too dangerous on its own. If my lady wants to ride she can get her own bike.

Put the rear ride height back to the stock position and lubed the suspension linkages.

I did nothing except (continue to) leave it in a garage 2000 miles away. Shame and regret are my two middle names  [bang]

I replaced the heavy plastic ignition cover with a CF one (be stem, $40).  Surely I shaved off 2g in weight, increasing the power to weight ratio of my S4R!  That's equivalent to about a 10hp gain right?!?
