Whew!! Both the new Stator and the new VR are in and took it for a test drive in the dark to watch the head lights....I feel like an idiot "test riding" after a pretty major fix it (Including dropping the exhaust so I could clean it up.) I replaced the drive belt while I had it all apart. I dont know why but I always am way more nervous when I actually use a torque wrench and do everything to spec than when I just do it too feel. But I have a bad habbit of mongo smash and striping bolts when I don't use a torque wrench. Like putting the primary case back on. Those bolts are barely a 1/4 past snug when you do them to 110 inch lbs.

The battery now reads around 14.5 v where before it was only hitting 12s. Lights stayed on for the whole 10 min drive and took it up to about 5k RPM and not even a flicker. I'm pretty exhausted since I"ve been playing army out in the field and got a 1 night parole to "do laundry and shower" I still have to clean up the garage and put the chin fairing back on.

I also put on brand brand (I'm the 2nd person to own them) frame sliders from T-Rex racing in Dallas. I put axle sliders and frame sliders on while I was doing all the work. If I have time tomorrow I'll post pics. Very nice guys and great product.

On to the next project...The lunasse wheel lights that came in the mail while I was gone.
 
I wanna grab the 03 on Frame sliders from them but they don't advertise them yet. *sigh*

Glad you are back on the road.
 
I got the new right side mount plate and they exchanged the left so they match. I'll take some pics today or at least try too. Getting ready for COTA on saturday!!!
