Did that $650 include the new D220's?

What did that $650 include??????

Okay, if that included new fork oil, lube of the swing arm 
bearing, new plugs, air filter, throttle body sync, new tune, 
CO2 setup and the valves, then maybe. But I have not yet heard 
of a 12k include all of those.

I am guessing either STeve and Manuel's bike will be reaching 
the 12K mark soon, I may ask one of them to let me do the work 
so I can do a time study of how long the process takes. But I am 
guessing that excluding the trip to the Triumph dealer to get 
the new shim(s) if required, I should be able to get all the 
work done in under 5 hours as I have done the valves once and 
syn'c the throttle bodies several times now.

The most frustrating part is waiting the hour or so for the 
silicon on the engine cover gasket to dry :-)

So you liked the 220's?
