Shift point just over 8000rpm.  That's pretty tame... ::)  is that the sissy setting?  It sure sounds like a high revving long duration cam. ???

Thinking about if some more, if that cam is as long a duration as it sounds, I'll bet that red mark at 8000 is the "need to stay above this rpm to stay in the power band" mark, not a shift rpm.  Probably something like a 8000 to 11,500 power band.  Sounds about right for a highly tweaked vintage 750 road racer.

I imagine they didn't skimp on the valve springs. ;D

more likey it's the other way round.... as this is a unique museum piece, it's a "dont go over" line to save on engine wear and tear.

By CR29s have straight rubbers that fit flush over the stack trumpets.  Those looked like they were either plugs into the stacks or (on my iPhone) like a combo of a baffled stack.  Trick of the eye, I guess -- or just old age!

You are correct Don, Mine also had the stock rubber covers but its common to see on race bikes those types of plugs in the stacks and exhaust pipe... ;)
