Jeff,

I've got one on my '01 S. You are welcome to come by to check it out.

The shape is much better than stock, but I would really like to see more padding.

Barring outright leaks, oil comsumption comes down to ring seal and valve seal, but I don't know why the Castrol has done better than the Mobil 1 other than one of those must be better.

No TBN run on this sample, but I would be surprised if it was low at this point.

If I were planning on an extended interval I would go ahead and have the TBN checked.

The front fender on the ST is a real work of art http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/puke.gif . Should make for an active aftermarket.

Almost makes the rest of the bike look OK.

FWIW, the BMW ad in the same issue says the hp is 168 ;) What they claim really doesn't matter. Only how the bike runs when it finally shows up.
