Also swapped out the original clutch hub nut for a Schnitz Racing piece. I kinda wanted to make my own but ran out of time for now.
OEM part - .77 oz
Schnitz - .47 oz
Not a huge savings but every bit helps. I think next I might have some Swiss cheese titanium washers made up for the hub nut and for the back side of the hub in the basket as well.

Aluminum sprocket side wheel cover carrier
I received my prototype for the sprocket side wheel cover carrier today and it fits and looks great. This is just raw right off the machine as I did not have time to wait for any special finishing like polishing, blasting or anodizing. I kinda like it this way though.
So as stated before, basically this is an adapter that fits between the sprocket carrier and the sprocket that allows me to run a sprocket side wheel cover with no internal hardware like I was previously using. I had to do this because my standard 3 hole mounting system was not able to work with the 5 spoke pattern of the BST RapidTeks. I did not want to do 5 rods because I thought that was unnecessarily complicated with extra pieces. What I ended up creating unintentionally was a system that allows for the motorcycle to run a single side wheel cover while retaining a rear brake if the owner chooses, which to my knowledge is not offered by anyone. Obviously my intent is to run both sides but single is an option this way since the internal hardware no longer exists.
Full assembly
I will be doing some testing at my local airport a few days this coming week, and then I'm really looking forward to seeing how the bike performs next weekend at Shift Sector. The bike is almost an entirely new package since the last time it was raced (new engine, new wheels, different sprockets, and a bunch of parts here and there).

How long did it take the cnc to run and mill that out?

How much does your bike weigh now?

I have to weigh it to find out. I actually might do that tonight if I have some time because I’d like to know for sure myself. I have an idea but I’ll wait to say until I know.

Local car show last night. Heading out today for some racing tomorrow.

Well I did not quite get the speed I was hoping for this weekend at the Indy Airstrip Attack, but the bike still performed pretty well.
First run off the trailer was 181.3 MPH which qualified me 3rd behind a Kawasaki H2 and a turbo Hayabusa
I ended up running a couple 184.xx MPH passes in the second round and knocked out the turbo Busa
Went to the final with the H2 and ran 182.xx compared to what I think was 196.xx by the H2
I was running E85 so a little down on power compared to the 2WL tune and the bike was hooking up pretty well. I made some tweaks for the last one and made it spicier and spun a bit on the launch and had a hard time shifting two separate times. I think that pass would have been something more like 186-187 if everything went right.
I’ll get some videos posted later today

Impressive for a stock engine.
You should try the belly wing, or make a custom one.

Actually one of the next things on my list is to make a bracket to get the original belly pan back on to see if it helps
I can't personally say, but there are a few old LSR posts here of riders trying it with and without, and going faster with it on.

Haven’t had a chance to mess with video and get it on my YouTube channel to share here yet.
Here’s the only photo I have from Indy
Went down to NC and SC on vacation a couple weeks ago.
While in NC I stopped by EJRs shop to do some tuning and hung out with Evan and BoostedCatfish for the day. Got the bike straightened out and went for a short ride and did some pulls with Adam on his Gen 3. I have some video of that I need to get on here as well.
From there I spent the next week in SC and just snapped a couple photos at the place we stayed at
I’m working on some new stuff that I’ll share soon
