Now every camhead owner can list their bike on eBay with the words "RARE FEATURE-only found on a few years of these uncommon bikes..." We'll never be able to find reasonably priced R models ever again...

SAFETY!!!!
You have to add oil on RHS not LHS so you are further off road.That is for me a/BS/but I can not think you adding oil every few hundreds of mls of travelling.If you have to add,You ar in seriouse trouble with your bike.
