I'm on my way up there right now to steal that tail section.  

I hope you put together a photo tutorial on how to install that.  Such a clean job.

Difficulty level?

Is it just an optical illusion, or is your chain really loose?

That's a rather personal question, isn't it?

Seriously, now that you mention it, it does look like an offroad chain...

Yup, I didnt think of the .5 but I have been calling it a Yamazuki. I like the .5 :)

Will have to do a write-up and photo deal on it when I get un-lazy.

I like it too, are we going to end up with the same bike, JakeD?

Yes.  Except mine may not have proper oil pressure.   :x

I'm close enough to the edge now.  Don't get me started.

3 months, $840.  And it is apart again.  

Oil pump didn't solve my pressure problem.  So it has to be the bearings (oil pressure drops when the engine gets warm).  Replacing those in the bottom end.  Should be good after that.   One way or the other, I'll fix it.  Or die trying.
