Just a follow-up to this topic. I was able to transfer the New York state title with no issue using the original Yamaha finance payoff letter. All you need is the out-of-state inspection and you are done!
My first Dura Ace Crankset since the octalink II days. 7800. Very light. Not as much fun to hold in the cold as carbon. Cheaper than 7900 but 20% less stiff. I tell myself they're more aero.
Finally got the rest of my race prep goodies last week, now it's a waiting game on decent temps outside so I can get to finishing my KTM in time for OMRL season.
