I don't think it will take more than two afternoons to wrap this all up, with the only time hangup being getting the jugs to a machinist to hone and measure and make sure I'm still in spec for roundness. If not, no biggie - it just means a bore job and new pistons. Figuring on new rings anyway, so at least those wouldn't be extra as well.

I will miss the 1125 terribly, but in all honesty I just wasn't riding it enough to justify keeping it - perhaps only a few hundred miles a year. The S3T is just so much more comfortable that there are only rare occasions where I'd prefer not to take it, and those were typically only because I knew the 1125 needed to be ridden. It will be odd only having one bike again - I've been a multiple-motorcycle household (fitting as many as 4 bikes plus a car in my one-car garage) for the past 5 years. If the S3T breaks (like it is now), I'll have no backup.
I'll cross my fingers that a I can afford to buy and build the X1 project I have in my head sometime soon.
