Finally I can reply!
First of all, she's purty! LOVE the mighty TLR.
Your comments about it so far seem to be pretty spot on to me. Here are my suggestions.
Keep an eye on the WERA board for a full titanium system. I don't mean a stainless system with titanium cans. FULL titanium. Header, midpipes, cans, the whole smack. It was a $2,000 system from Yoshi back in the day. Rare if you can find it now, but light as hell. I weighed mine when I got it, and the whole thing was 11 pounds with the cans. The header diameter is a little bit larger too. I'll rip off a sound file of it next week, along with a sound file with the cans off. I kid you not, the thing vibrates the floor and sounds like a NASCAR 350.
For the suspension, have the front forks reworked to match your weight, and keep an eye out for a Penske or Ohlins. I put a Penske triple adjustable on mine, but I don't think they make them anymore. Not sure. I have one already.
The next thing you'll want to do is to replace the stock steering damper with an aftermarket unit. I have a Hyperpro on mine. The stock damper is entirely too stiff in my opinion.
Next, start looking for a set of light wheels. I put 5 spoke magnesium Marchesinis on mine. They are the way to go. I found them on Ebay for a serious steal. When you do your search, spell it wrong on purpose, try a few different ways. That's how I got mine. I was the only one to bid on them.
After you get this far, if you're not dirt poor yet, get a set of steel braided lines. I put Kevlar lines on mine, and they do help. I do want to put a set of Brembo brakes on it. Archren's Brembos stop like yesterday and I want that stopping power on my TLR. That's the *only* mod left that I can justify to the bike. You won't find any *bling* or faux carbon fiber on it. Every single mod is specifically aimed at improving performance.
Oh, I almost forgot. I pulled the motor and ported / polished the heads and valves, and bumped the compression a little by leaving off the base gasket between the block and the cylinder.
That presented me with a unique problem though. Now, the thing bangs the rev limiter like a raped ape and scared the holy shit out of me the first time it did it, it was so quick. I *really* need another 1500 rpm in revs, so if anybody happens to know where I can get my grubby little hands on a factory race kit Yoshimura computer (adjustable rev limiter) I would be very grateful.
The above mods have put my TLR in the 410 lb range dry, and I dare anybody to call that heavy (just had to give my girlfriend a look since she's sitting here and said *It's heavy.* She'll get her's later.) It's also amazingly easy to service. I can change spark plugs in 30 minutes. Valve checks are equally easy.
I'll work on those sound files this week. The TLR makes mere mortals tremble, and girls need private moments with themselves.
You chose well.
