Today was it...last ride for the year. 
Glad I had the head work done. 

Looking forward to Spring!

Nope.
39 degree high tomorrow, with 5% chance of precipitation.  That is the warmest day forecast through next week. 

Cool crisp air...hmmm.  I have riding gear for that!

Steve, did you bore a 1000 block, and you want to use the 900 exhaust collars. Will this help?

I had APE bore the block to match the 1075 pistons and am using that junk 1000 head I brought back to life.   The m6 Helicoils expanded to fit the M6 studs. I have the M8 to M6 inserts to use this time. The one I installed in the case for the sprocket cover is still going strong.   Ready the do the switchover tomorrow then RIDE THE PISS OUT OF IT AGAIN.

With Bossie looking so good, you may as well keep riding it out!
