In the Works...

Pitted Camshaft
During a routine valve adjustment, I noticed some pitting on the rear exhaust cam lobe. This will be a winter project that will include a replacement or new camshaft, full head inspection, and new valve springs ($$$).
Poor Man's Rear Shock Mod... In the works
Purchased a CBR 600 F4i rear shock off ebay for $25 shipped. The bottom portion is constructed from two pieces of 1/8" x 1" mild steel. I welded two strips of 3/16" x 3/16" mild steel to the two uprights to keep the extensions rigid (bottom right picture). I filed down some nuts for use as spacers (bottom left picture).
