1) that is how it is in the bike, only a steeper angle(10 degrees or so)
2) it puts the exhaust ports in almost the exact position as the gsxr thus headers become reusable.
3) puts the sprocket in just about the right place
4) rear 2 engine mount bolts become close to perfectly inline vertically(@7 degrees)
coop used this method only i think he reused the forward mounts holes in his chassis which lifted the motor a bit in the chassis. ie, more then 1.25" off the floor in the front. solved some major re-design dilemmas. this angle also helped me to design a much simpler dry sump system in which the oil inlet line comes under the oil pan and the fitting can be bolted on to either point left or right making it a more universal kit. it also nets a kit with $1595 retail including the custom filter adapter that places the filter on the front of the block with no external oil lines. it really is a slick kit!
