This winter I removed the original engine to give it a refresh and installed a rather custom 6 speed, 810 GPZ/Zephyr/ZR7s engine I just finished building.  Got one ride in last weekend before the random snow came back.  I will probably do a more detailed post on the engine build in 'projects' section.
