I spent the Canadian Holiday weekend in Toronto helping my son renovate his 100 year old, 16' wide, 2-1/2 story house. Quite a trip for this country kid to visit a booming metropolis of 2-1/2 million people, and still growing. I'm not sure what the attraction is, but at least 12 new high-rise condominiums are under construction to house something like 7,000 more people. The entire population of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia could move in! Came home and celebrated the 4th with niece and nephew who have a summer home up here. Calamari, clams, venison stew, and lobsters to go. Tough life, but somebody has to do it.
I couldn't resist posting the last photo. I don't use Facebook, so you guys will just have to suffer a few non-LSR photos from time to time. My son and his happy little family!
Matt and Dennis,
I have taken your advice and re-fabbed the intake tube to slide over the inlet pipe and use a hose clamp. I still don't like the crappy aluminum elbow, but we'll see what the 65% balanced BSA single cylinder has to say!
I took some photos from the side before disassembling and noted that my nose is not exactly visible. So I re-profiled the top edge of the fairing and the windshield, hopefully to the approval of the inspectors.
I have disassembled the fairing pieces (6 pieces, including an inspection cover on the bottom) and hope to paint it this weekend.
