If there is a problem I can supply mounting plates to Aaron. I think we use different designs though.
Also PVL users must decide if they want to use a block off plate or not, to isolate the left side of the engine from oil flow. May or may not be necessary, I use one because it makes timing adjustments a breeze and keeps the PVL clean. The plates I make are about $60 each.
The whole project is kind of pricey...but in my opinion it's the last step in turning a 175 into a real race bike. You guys will have to take a look at my bikes and Hiroshi's to decide for yourself. With the PVL installed you end up with basically an engine, frame and wheels. Very clean, very light, and trouble free. No battery of course, which means no battery box etc, wiring is simplified, no on/off switch...just a push type kill button. Coil and CDI unit are tiny, with proper connectors already in place. If you find yourself jealous of the factory "GP" bikes like MT, TA's etc then you'll like the PVL. It turns the 175 into a four stroke chain saw..push it starts..hit the button it stops.
Typically you can lose at least 5 lbs or more in bike weight.
