Pretty impressive list, but surprised not to see replacement V piece with integral mesh cover to protect oil cooler - maybe just not on list? I want to replace mine ('04 999r) for this reason. Casoli do a nice one but modified to block the air intake/cooling duct to the rear pot to stop c--p/rain finding its way down there. Saw something about this a while ago on the board, but given your current project, wondered if you have any recommendations or are you leaving as standard??
