2) At 5'4" (162cm) and 140 pounds (62kg), I AM less than your average man, at least in the sence that I take up less space. :-D

Less weight = faster acceleration. Less height = Less wind resistance.

There are perks to being a little runt!
However, the penalty that happens most often is falling over at a dead stop when you can't seem to find the ground with your foot. :-D

I admire the enginuity and projects guys do on this site and share their info. Its cool.
Question on the Rekluse though. Having talked to a lot of desert racers from the 1990's who ran 500's. Many have said the Rekluse is a little hard on the tranny. Due to the TQ the engine puts out. Often wondered about running one. Ride with a lot of guys who use them in other brands of bikes. I myself like a standard clutch. But if I rode in the woods a lot my thinking would probably change.

. The engine donor bike was an '87 KX500, but I have since gotten enough stuff to make the engine an '89 to '04.

How do you get enough stuff to make the engine an 89 to 04? did you get newer cases? if not it would be very difficult to make 87 cases fit the 89 cylinder.
