Very nice and some excellent engineering.

A bit concerned about protection of air in via those carbs, maybe some gauge or similar unseen?

Is that a oli cooler up front?

There is a mesh inside the intake and yes an oil cooler which I should have paid more attention to as I wonder where in the circuit it is fitted.

Oil cooler appears to be plumbed in via the oil filter canister as is the norm for the airheads.   I know I hated to fight with that oil filter cover plumbing on my R100RT

Very well thought out and put together.

But a bit too much polishing for my tastes ;)
