Looks like I need to find another reason to come drink your beer now.
The ST4 was a bit daunting at first, but once I got the hang of it the worst was the rear exhaust valves. Not much room to get in there. I just hope it doesn't develop the rocker flaking issue. That could get pricey. So far so good though.
Bummer about the shelf. I try to avoid storing hard/heavy things on shelves above the bikes for that very reason this being earthquake country.
