Got the Stage 2 exhaust cam installed. The chain is showing the expected initial stretch, but not too far out of timing yet. The automatic tensioners on these are notoriously strong and causes some initial stretch, but folks have had them last 50,000 miles, so I'm not worried. When I do the big bore kit, I'll change the chain and reinstall the manual tensioner.

Graphics have been an issue. All the graphic kits online make you look like you're a sponsored racer. I didn't want to be a riding advertisement for a bunch of companies I could give a rip about. Fortunately, in the boxes of stuff i got with the bike, I found some excellent condition blue, with factory graphics, tank panels. Problem solved!

Got the motor all buttoned up. Now I'm waiting for the FMF Powerbomb to come in. This should finish the project, just in time for riding season to start.
