Please try again. Is this like the guy from W. Germany that flew the plane into Red Square all of those years ago?

Count me in as one who is interested in one of those fairings. It looks just like what I have been looking for!

I lost a magnet which was in the brake disk. This is not an isolated case.
Bolt with magnet stronger than insert a locking collar.

I just want to point out that shaving weight off of the flywheel also means shaving weight from the bike!!
('cuz all I ever seem to do is add weight to mine )

Needless to say, I re-installed my White Bros lowering link and moved the forks back up in the triples after that experiment.
I can get both of my toes on the ground, even in sneakers, boots I get about half my foot even when the tank is almost on reserve (I'm 5'11"). When its full I can nearly flat foot with boots. When riding around town, I just put my right leg down and keep my left on the peg so I can shift into 1st from neutral when the light turns green. Yes, the bike leans a little but it won't fall over.

Your kickstand could easily be lengthened by a competent welder.

If you are worried about the lightened flywheel comming apart in the engine, test it by spinning in the lath at 7200 rpm or so.

Yup. The 15 pounds of guttage that I managed to pare off over the winter may help the bike's pep as well.
