so yesterday i got busy once more on the bike. i didnt like the way the oil cooler was been covered by the mids showing only 2 or the 5 oil fins so i relocated it once more.

now is closer to the frame (back away from the radiator) and a bit higher so that the air been sucked out of the mid help the cooling of the oil itself.

I would like to know what your current wet weight is! I'm sure you have seen the Durbahn Durbahn Home rc51 project for further extreme ideas on weight savings. Many costly options there.
If reverse shifting interest you there is the easy modification of eliminating the linkage and install a shifter straight into the tranny shaft.

wet weight is 401 lbs with 3 gals of gas right now.

yes i've seen them and would love to get my hands on some but my budget with a 2 1/2 year old baby is super short

i like the regular shifter, i can't get use to the gp shifting for some reason but thanks.

a bit more updates.
since i moved the oil cooler closer to the vent itself i desided to add some fins to get more of that hot air out and here is what it looks like (Thank you Mrgrn)
