Thank you, Sir! That would be awesome. I once saw a TV interview at his house with the helo on the drive and over his shoulder parked in his garage was an RC30.

I apologize if my earlier post took away from the wonderful liveries of past that provided us race fans with great sights and racing. Watching Castrol Oil circulate at the BGP last weekend was priceless. I too miss those days of art. Even Porsche brought back their Dakar 911 for a small $250,000US and for a slight bit more $175,000US you can get the Rothmans livery sans their naming. 2023 Porsche 911 Dakar Gets Classic Rothmans Colors as a Factory Option (thedrive.com)

It all got started for me in the early 1980’s when I saw this guy ride that bike, Freddie Spencer and his NSR in Rothmans livery. Watching the GP guys ride those machines was incredible, their skill, daring and many times completely over the limit made them super-human. We can debate the cancer years but they delivered the most creative, artistic and indelible visuals we’ll ever see. Rothmans, Lucky Strike, Marlboro, Camel etc. made the teams recognizable and clear. Today’s teams are fighting to fill every inch of space making for unpleasant sights. When Mick Doohan arrived, that was it for me. Have followed him ever since, even into retirement. Yes, I have attended US MotoGP rounds with his helmet hoping for an autograph, sadly no luck.

Right? I picked them up for about $30US

I have a set of Jergens pins and they work flawlessly without drilling out the threads. I also use a nylon collar to support the fairing. Jergens - Ball Grip Quick-Release Pin: Button Handle, 5 mm Pin Dia, 20 mm Usable Length | MSC Industrial Supply Co. (mscdirect.com)

I've used Indy Powdercoating with great results. (2) Indy Powder Coating | Facebook

I don't know, and I'm sure the college kid didn't either. These engines are bullet proof, not chain proof.

Ensure the chain is properly installed. I "rescued" a 98 from a college kid who had a new chain installed, only to find out otherwise. I'm currently into an engine swap so if you need any bits from this engine, let me know. VFRD discount applies.

I sent a stator to Custom Rewind and had them upgrade the windings as well as put a Yamaha connector on the output leads. Got it back and installed it in a buddy's 98 with about 20k miles on it. We previously installed an R1 R/R but this was on our list to complete. Even with the R1 R/R, his volts never rose above 13.6v. It appears we completed the upgrade in time..... Custom Rewind continues to do excellent work, 14.4v at idle.
