Brian, I am leaving my bike right where it is "FOR ME" and for Randall, I am just going to soften the Springs a little (So it will not feel like a Rigid  for him). Plus, with this set up, There will be no smashed Pipes or Belly Pan if he hits the exact same spot again

Wow Vincent, that pan looks very nice, good deal. I would say just based on that example that this Cody Adams fellow does some quality work. Good to see.
And yeah, Brian's big ass needs a little more spring rate/preload/damping/diet etc. We'll get it right.

Today for the first time I filled the pan, New Filter I first put in 4.5 Quarts. I then started the bike and after it ran for a short time, I then let it sit for a While. No Oil was showing on the Site Glass so I slowly added the other .5 quart until it was all gone and the Oil was in the Middle (Low Side of Middle) of the Site Glass.
I put in "5" Quarts of Oil and still not over filled. Normally I put in a little over 3 quarts. So I have added between 1.5 to 2 full Quarts more OIL!

Agreed! Now I feel like I have some "Oil" in the bike!

Sure do not need "Much" more (Try 0.7 MPH!) Now having the lower Oil level and more oil, the Windage is not going to be a problem.

Windage is "Usually" talking about the Crank but it can be for anything that rotates. In the ZX12's case Pun intended, the Clutch Basket will spin in Oil when the Oil Level is to high and that takes HP Away.
