I feel so damn capable right now

front cams all swapped over, rear end I'm down to just having the cams to swap- all the other strip work is done. Though maybe I should keep quiet until I know it works

So far, it's astonishingly easy... I was a bit thrown by long instrucitons- markthis, punch that... When what it basically comes down to is "Put the new one in just like the old one, and check it carefully. Use your noggin."

I spent a good five minutes just turning the engine and watching the bits go, it's like dismantling a watch... "Ooh, I can see the piston down the fuel intakes!"

Nice! I must get the garage sorted.

How noticable is it when you're riding?

See other thread- but basically, it's very wet so I don't know. There's a kick there for sure, how much i couldn't tell you yet.
