well, all the parts and pieces are in..
PC USBIII, BMC filter, and the Yosh TRC slip ons (Carbon Fibre).
odd notes:
a) the tank cover is )(*)(*)#@$ing tough to get off. I'll probably forget how to do it when I have to clean the filter.. which leads me to:
b) while I was looking at the BMC race filter I installed (not the standard BMC filter) I happened to hold it up to the light, and good God! You can almost see through it!! I held the stock filter (1400 miles) up to the light and was amazed at the difference in porosity.
Are these things safe on the road? I'd sure hate to have to rebuild the front end due to an unplanned ingestion of gravel..
c) speaking of gravel when I pulled all the fairings off the left side to put the PC in I was amazed all the gravel that collects here and there under the fairing. I'd swear there's a pound or so of sand hidden here and there.
d) Percy is now an ICBM... midrange is stronger, it revs faster, and top end.. well, let's just say I'm glad there were no cops on Colorado 83 today. had some guy on a KTM 990 dogging my tail. when last seen he was struggling to stay in view of my mirrors. heheh..
