No, but my right leg is still strong.

sandblaster:
My leg is strong as well but, there is a lot less stress on the whole right side of your engine by using a decomp head.
I think everything on that side will last a lot longer.
I've had my decomp head for two years or so and just put it on today.
For some reason I resisted putting it on.
Now I won't run mine without it.
It makes me look forward to starting my bike tomorrow  8-)

Can't disagree with most of what you have said other than most of the failures I have experienced have nothing to do with starting compression. Broken springs and water pump shafts on the clutch side?

sandblaster:
Yeah... Sometimes bad stuff just happens
