Yeah, I just got the clutch, chain, and sprockets on a couple days ago. Now it 'just' needs tires, fork seals, valves adjusted, and eventually brake pads. :lol:

I just ordered a set of Dunlop Qualifiers for mine, I'll post up my experience when they get here. Poor old Bridgestone BT010 in the rear is starting to look like a tire cutaway.

Watched it this afternoon on Speed, was a great race. Those Ducati MotoGP bikes look a bit unstable on the straights.

Turbocharged Honda CBR600 F3 motor with 10:1 compression running 10psi of boost. It only weighed 398lbs wet. Unfortunately the suspension design was pretty lacking.

Back when I was in Formula SAE, one of our old cars had an FZR 600 with a roots blower run off of a pulley on the crank where the alternator used to be.

I have Lee's book and Nick's book, some good stuff in there. There's even a picture of a FZR 1000 in the same colorscheme as mine on page 117 of Nick's book :D
