Nice! That intake is cool. What are the specs? What is the little fan cooling on the right inside fender?
More pics and a vid or two please!

Nice looking motor. Just curious, how do you break in yours since this seams to be one of those things where everyone has there own opinion. For me, 30 minute cam break in then take it out where I repeatedly put it under load accelerating to help seat the rings and that it. I don't get what people are trying to break in with the extended break in times? All bearing float on a film of oil, valves don't need broke in, the cam is broken in after 30 minutes so what's left? Within an hour I'm having fun and have never had a problem. Just curious what you guys do???

I have always done 20 min break ins, change oil then drive it like you intend to the rest of it's life for 100 miles, change oil again, drive 500 miles change oil again, then you are done. Never had a problem
