Welcome Carl, inline 4 screamer will be a nice change from the twin, hope you enjoy the top end thrill and ride her at 8k and above. Ride her like a manic 2 stroke to enjoy the best she has to offer

hope you get the right clutch lever as when i got my TiTax levers i was sent the thicker lever but had the thinner perch , so in case of future problems i just bought the thicker perch off Ebay so now i have both
