Today the bike was rum through the usual test loop in the Cascade foothills. The break in oil was in the engine and only the outer valve springs.
The new triple clamps with less offset do not hurt straight line stability. They make the front wheel feel more "planted" on the pavement. The steering felt a bit vague and light with the old clamps.
The new cam timing does not produce noticeable reversion effects at street rpm (under 4,000). This is very nice considering the cam lift and duration. Credit the computer based wave action design for this. The PC did the hard thinking.
The lack of counterbalancers with the 270-450 crank does not make the the bike vibrate enough to be unpleasant on the street. The blur on images in the mirror shows that all of the vibration is sideways and not up to down. Intensity is between an old Meridan Bonneville and a Norton Atlas.
Long term plans are to race again in Straightliner events. The bike would be used for transportation while in the UK and I want to ride through Cheddar Gorge, the Lake District, the Peak District, across the Pennines, and up to Edinburgh. The bike has enough street manners to do this. This was something I was worried about.
