    Let me knows when yours gets to ya - I'm not too far away and wouldn't mind taking a looksee before deciding to pull the trigger myself. I'm all for trying new things, but I'm even MORE all for trying new things after letting someone else do it first ;)

    Another thing that had me worried was the way the crankcase breather hose is connected to the dummy oil tank instead of to an air box or air filter.

    I just installed a crankcase breather filter to remove that hose to the dummy tank that contains the electrics. Didn't want a bunch of oil or fumes getting in there.

    This is called a pair sucker mod, its usually used on 2002 + GSXR 750's and other race bikes and typically costs around $2k+, but it was as easy as just attaching a hose for $1 and gaining 12hp. What it does is creates negative pressure inside the case removing all the air so the oil can flow without friction. I would have to do a test on this motor to see if the pair sucker mod would work but if it does it would 100% add at least 1hp and make the engine run a lot better.
    Aboshi,
    What I removed was a SAI (secondary air enjection system) and not a EGR (exhaust gas recirculation system). SAI use outside air.

    I got ya, even still if that is creating a negative pressure (sucking in) you should connect that to the crank case breather. Once in a blue moon it might suck some oil but thats perfectly fine. It will create a negative pressure inside the crankcase removing all the air in there to reduce friction and let the oil flow much better. I have done this on every one of my race bikes in the past, and a few for street use, the only ones I didn't do the pair sucker mod on were my stunt bikes due to getting tipped over all the time and draining oil into the hose. It is a bit worse for the environment though because it will burn off oil if it gets sucked up. I am going to put an order in for one of these today and if I have no issues getting it regged I'll wind up getting the rest I need =)
    I'll keep you all posted.

    The port that the plate is covering is in the exhaust port so it would create a positive pressure (exhaust gas). I removed the SAI (what we use to call a smog pump) and it pumps outside air into that port.

    so I put it on and went for a ride. Very nice and comfortable.




    Watching the wind surfers.


    Met a new friend and her dog




    Felt guilty so went out to our cottage and supervised my wife's painting.

    Lookin good =)
    Well I just ordered mine as well from countyimports.com =)
    It came out to $2,249.49 - that was with the $50 discount, it seems they bumped the price up $100 from 2 days ago but I'm not gonna cry over it :P
    I am going to tell them to throw in the helmet for $0.01 - I didn't see that deal because I called it in over the phone to place the order, but I'm sure they will toss it in.
    Now I'm not going to be able to sleep till I get this bike in my parking spot =)

    Gordo,
    Good news about your MSO. Maybe I just got a new person at extreme. I mean it's not rocket science to send out a correct MSO and bill of sale.

    Yep, it gets a lot of attention. Anybody on this site have a bike business in the USA? I could send a lot of business your way.

    I keep forgetting to mention that I checked the valves on my bike at 200 miles and they were too tight. Easy enough to adjust.
