I had money on you as the first to ask!

It's a 1 pint breather catch can for the crankcase vent. The stock system has the A/F mixture polluting the oil and the oil screwing up the intakes, so the airbox is sealed (remember, it's a 30 liter type 2 system ala Thorsten and other than the 2 fuel hoses and the electrical connector, there aren't any other inlets/outlets). It also keeps the crankcase from pressurizing.

(on another subject, man does U4 taste nasty . . . )

Yes and no. It doesn't have the "thrill" the 929 had when above 9500 rpm, but it does make serious time off the corners.

WOW Abtech, that RC looks great! Now, remeber what you said to me back when I had the "929"... " you have set the standard, now you must keep it looking that nice when you take it to the group ride!"

Your very welcome on the fairing stay! Enjoy!


Looks great!

Well, she might be just kidding, but I'm not. I got dibs on second ride around Grattan. First ride is abtech's.

Nice. You gotta do something about those chicken strips though in the last pic!

Yeah, I know... That's the point!

The real truth of the matter is if he had an impeccably clean garage floor, just like mine, (yeah right) there would not be the dirt strip down the center making it look like chicken strips on the sides.

I know that you know that HD, and that we both know abtech's abilities, but I just had to stir up the beginners around here. since an unnamed administrater got me yesterday, I just had to stir the pot today!
