I don't think I'd be able to even sleep and probably take a week off to finish it LOL.

Yes. Wise to wait. Follow Kirby's fire up procedure an she won't make any funny noises on fire up. That clutch is Perdy but I'm biased. Might get a clear cover sometime.

Hell I'd like to be there for first fire up. Too bad im not closer. It will go great! I wish I had a start up tune. Mine was only good enough to fire it up a few times before a Dyno break in.

make sure you check your outer primary for any contact with the clutch

Damn Monster. Great work man. Looks killer. Cant wait to see what you think of the power. As far as tires go, I'm lucky to get 4k out of my rear Metzler with my 107. This beast should eat tires for breakfast. That Bandit clutch is next up on my wish list along with some Ohlins fork cartridges. Make sure you post a video.

Holy crap, looks great. Can't believe you were concerned about the contrast colors. Hope you got some rest so that you can next hook us on the next post which just might be firing it up! Do you have a gopro or cam for first test ride

So there's only .006 between the outside studs on the pressure plate and the back of the primary cover (bottom left screw) with the clutch pulled in. Is that enough clearance?
