Thanks for remembering Tony. I like photos & appreciate the effort of all who document during a build. Explanations are clarified with good photos & we learn from these.
I like it when I've spotted an area of a build that might provide a design improvement if modified or perhaps eliminated, but I live with the thought while I ride and experience the bike for awhile. Making hasty changes can lead to disappointment down the road and I've done that so many times. You mentioned your bike was "Getting too complicated" & you wisely kept it simple, for now, but you've already started a plan to design and automate the foam plug fabrication.
Road rat suicide by biker sounds an urban legend but is quite common place in the rural areas with large animals, wildlife and domestic livestock, and can be life threatening to drivers and occupants of large vehicles as well. Getting it on video would have been epic.
