Yes, many of us are interested in how they are performing.

Still need to finish working on the jetting. Ran great from idle to 4000 and pulled really, really strong from 5200 to 9500. Ran a bit rough  from 4000 to 5200.

Bike is in the process of being shipped to Germany. I will not have a chance to rejet and  dyno the bike until next year.

I am going to try to take a leave in June or July for ten days to slap the rejetted carbs on and take it South of Stuttgart to http://www.dzt-power.com/ihr-tuning-center to get it dynoed and tuned.

Would your dad be open to adopting another son? 

Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask...

Beautiful bike!  Enjoy the ride and safe travels.

Starts no problem in good weather with no choke. Have not tried it on a cold morning in Germany....may be a different story.

The tank holds 3 gallons, only had to use the reserve once just past Eureka, CA. To be honest, I never really tracked the fuel mileage, just topped off every few gas stations and it normally took about  1 1/2 gallons. Once I get it dialled in in Germany, I will let you know. Gas mileage is a bit more important there; gas is over $7 a gallon for regular, and $8 for super.

Thanks! No, he has three. Cannot wait to get back to Germany and uncrate the bike. It should be there by then. I only have about 10 days at home for my 25th anniversary, then back to the Stan. I will take a "tuning vacation" this summer and dedicate a week or so to the bike at home in Germany. Thinking June. The weather will be nice and I can attempt to get the bike through TUV (which may be a major challenge with the exhaust system).
