Thank you Miguel, that helps a lot. I think I am going to be that close once I am all installed and configured.
While you are at it, might as well get speed bleeders, you will thank me next time you do a brake job on your bike and need to bleed your brakes. I even put one on my clutch system. Nothing like being able to put fluid and start pumping until solid fluid and no bubbles comely of your clear hose you normally have on the bleeder, instead of pump-hold-open bleeder-close bleeder-pump and hold-open bleeder............. you get the idea.
It was definitely the lack of studs that caused my issues. I could see it blowing out on the third piston. Lesson learned. Once I’m all done I’m going to write a post about my experience and some tips for the DIY crowd who want to tackle this. Hopefully it helps someone avoid issues. Even though I had issues I still wouldn’t change a thing. I learned more doing 90% myself than I ever would’ve just paying for it.
Love my speed bleeders. Makes it soooo much easier. I have to get one for the clutch.While you are at it, might as well get speed bleeders, you will thank me next time you do a brake job on your bike and need to bleed your brakes.

Mine were purchased on eBay by typing “hayabusa speed bleeders”.
Mate, I was looking for the "love" button but I guess the like button will have to do, I just wanna see it in the flesh! One day not too far off ill come pay you a visit and drool over your bike bro!
One can see lots of love went into that bike..she's a beauty!
Yeah and LOTS of money too lol !
I will be looking forward to it Kiwi , I hope you can bring your beast over , or we hire you a bike , and I show you some of my favorite roads bro !!
Yeah man, if I was gonna ship my bike to Australia I think it would be to Melbourne in October and go to Philip Island for the MotoGp, then ride to Adelaide and visit you. Would be a great memorable time for us both, of course I'd stay in Adelaide for a few days at least, then get the bike sent home from your city if that's possible.
Not getting into your business but I bet it would be cheaper to buy a used bike there and then have RoadToad sell it when you leave. Maybe a way for Road to get that project bike he has been thinking about …..
You said Orange and Charlottesville got be talking about the Old Dominion good olde Va.70 degrees here today! Left work early and took a 4 hour ride thru Orange and Charlottesville. Just enough miles to do my first oil change tonight.
Now that is a good idea! Hmmmmmm . . . . .
Looking MAD tuff. Very subtle red color touches & I'm sure you didn't know how well that sprocket was going to compliment arm when you bought it.
