Default Thanks, interesting article!

I just have to wonder what the mechanical linkage looks like between the "monohead" and the crankcase housing. That's the linkage that can cant the head by op to 4 degrees, yet has to take the full load of the engine (in lieu of through-head bolts). Yikes. Neat idea, though.
