Thanks Sendler, Craig is one of my heroes so I feel very honored that he thinks enough of my efforts to recognize them on his website. It just motivates me to push harder to develop a successful Vetter Challenge machine and to hopefully help others join our revolution.
You are also correct about the 15/33 gearing causing my Ninja to turn about 5900 RPMs at 70 mph. I had been a little frustrated riding it in very windy conditions that would force it out of top gear in order to maintain my cruising speed. Yesterday was much calmer and I found that the bike was able to cruise in top gear most of the time. This week its supposed to rain a lot so it should be the perfect opportunity to clean and adjust the carbs. Things are progressing well for my project and I'm in good shape for the May Carmel Vetter Challenge.
