Not sure what you're talking about.......

The small holes near the ribbed casting are the holes that are also on the other side inside the breather bolt holes..........

Is that your question?

Not a problem......got the same year as you.......changing pipes?
it will only breath better if you change BOTH intake and exhaust.......changing just one won't help the other........gotta do both.

Get the fuel management computer yet?

Ya,thanks for rubbing that in, I was just working on the rice rocket....took it out for a quick spin, the dash said it was 48. Thank God for heated grips and adjustable windscreens.

Looks like that bike is done for the season, the sport compound tires do not like cold pavement.

The Limited will extend my season a few weeks, until I get to the Florida house where the 03 is waiting for me.

But back to the topic,Yardman you are going to want to fatten that up a bit as it is going to lean it out.

Have you considered ditching the football?
