Question for FOG, Mods

FOG,

I am going to be racing an EX500 this year at Loudon, the bike is new to me, a 1995. I've read this forum and have a couple of questions:

1. The ignition has been advanced on this bike by 5 degrees, is the Air Box Mod/pilot screws still a good idea/just as effective with advanced ingnition? Any special instructions that goe with advanced timing?

2. I have seen an ad for a lightened fly wheel from bgracing.com, your thoughts on this mod please.....will it require any additional adjustments or is it plug and play so to speak, pros and cons??!!

3. I've also read on this forum and have been told, that the front end wiggles in high speed turns, any adjustments or aftermarket fixes?

4. I read on this forum that you fabricated a rear sprocket guard to protect toes in case of a fall, do you or anyone have a picture/instructions/source for this part?

Thanks

I agree that women can make guys do stupid stuff on the track....I had a 100 lbs girl on a FZR400 pass me on the white flag lap at Talladega GP and i freaked thinking of the ribbing my buddies would give me if she beat me so i flew past her way too hot into a turn and ran off the track instead... ::)
