Any interest in cams?
No it didn't. They do not 'come' with that. You paid for it.

And whatever you paid, several hundreds of dollars would not only be wasted for most people as the mapjority of the bikes had no issues- but many basic repair could be done by the owner for less than the extended warranty cost if you have any skill.

Mods- if he keeps posting in my threads, I'll keep telling him why he is wrong. Smile

Hope you’re feeling better. Excited to see these dyno results.

Hopefully in the coming weeks. I’m moving around pretty good now.

Enough to repair the bike, and I can get a friend to ride it to the dyno for me.

Just comes down to timing.

Josh, thank you for seeing this project through, even though you won't be riding the finished bike. If you decide to sell, I hope you get a buyer who appreciates all the work you've put into it. I've learned a whole lot about my bike by reading your ongoing mechanical adventures. If motorcycling is not in your future, then maybe a Miata. You can do a whole lot of go fast mods to that car, and it's a blast to drive in the twisties.

I've played with many cars my whole life. Mostly VW since they are legos.

Started with a '73 bug as my first car. Had an '83 GTi, numerous highly modified Mk2 16v, highly modified a Mk4 R32, owned 2 VW Phaeton, one a 6.0 12 cylinder that I still have. I also still have a BMW M Roadster, which is sort of like a Miata on steroids.

For an example of my playing with cars- here is what basic simple mods do to an R32 before going to extremes-
