Thanks GB! I just received my ISR levers :drool :drool in the mail, and will be acquiring a nice CG hugger to go with the CF fender.

Found a couple pics of the S1 rep. The full size pic is a bit fuzzy. :oops:

Finally got started checking on the motor and hit a snag. There's play in the transmission so I separated the cases and found that on the output the first gear to shaft clearance is 0.0034, which is out of standard but within the limit of 0.006. Going to button it up after fixing this:

Also, a pic of the trans backcut and a crank weld. Porn for the gear head!

A little update: Time has not been on my side lately so I decided to pull the motor apart and have it done properly. I've sent it off to have the head ported and gas flowed and to have everything else generally cleaned, inspected, and set up. I'm going to have to fab up the remainder of the exhaust as finding the stuff used is proving fruitless and I want to finish the bike by spring. Still searching for a new intake manifold. May have to replace the flange on the turbo instead.

Update: I've decided to ditch the new Garrett T3/T4 turbo and go back to the Rajay. Even thought the motor is a monster at 1428cc, the Garrett is too big for the intended use. The smaller Rajay will spool up faster and reduce lag time, and will make more than enough boost for me. The Rajay that came with it needs a rebuild, and in the course of gathering pieces for that, I managed to land an entire fully functioning Rajay system with nitrous!!!!

Also on the docket is to upgrade some of the engine components, so I obtained an 83/84 GPZ1100 trans and had billet gears added and backcut work done. Should be plenty beefy now. Also got a MkII crank that will be worked over by Falicon soon. That should do me for the motor upgrades. I'm targeting a completion date of May. In the mean time, here's a little pic.
