   * The engine was upgraded with new 1200 cylinders, Wiseco pistons and S1 Lightning heads. Two of the rear engine mounting lugs were broken during the wreck. So, it was taken back to the independent bike shop to weld the engine lugs and install the new cylinders, pistons and heads. This created a stronger engine with stronger mounting lugs.   * The engine was upgraded with new 1200 cylinders, Wiseco pistons and S1 Lightning heads.
