it's a bit more rounded than what appears in the earlier pic. Also, if you notice the other pics, it is a lower profile. This is due to the button containing 2 heatsink fins. Less heat has to be transferred to the top heatsink, so less heatsink is needed. I still have the CAD file for the earlier design, I sent my feedback on the graphics, lightening holes, and general shape. Glad to know they listen, huh?
Also, regarding the 3 needle carb. I'd been pushing for this since inception 2 years ago. This past fall/late summer, they decided to go that route. Long story short, instead of rushing a new carb to market, we're launching with a refined version of the 2 needle. That way we can make sure the all-new carb gets the dev and test time it deserves. I stand behind this decision. As those of you that know me personally, I'm the type of person that does something right or not at all.
Idt does look great hey ! what exactly did you suggest for the head design ?
