Got home from DeLand late this afternoon and just managed to unload and put the bike away before the rain started coming down.

First impressions are that the engine snaps to life more quickly than before and revs more easily. I didn't get to road test yet and plan to go for a short ride tomorrow morning before it gets too hot. I was told not to beat her too hard for a few hundred miles and to ride vary the engine speed continually.

I am expecting the extra capacity of the HP2S cooler to help keep the oil temperatures slightly lower and disperse any extra heat resulting from the increase in compression.

Attached are a few images of the tabs that I designed. Basically I am going to use the factory mounting locations on the front carrier to attach the tabs to the bike. Then I plan to insert screws through the new cooler into a second set of tapped holes in the tabs. I need to clamp everything into position and transfer punch the precise hole locations onto the tabs before I install the new cooler.
