[AJD] R number two has come home

[Mitchell Daly]

Hey Chris,

Do you think that you will have any parts off of the R that you will be 
considering excess? I need the latch that holds the clutch lever and 
compression lever in the locked position.  As you go through things and this 
part turns up as an extra, let me know. Congrats on getting the latest one 
home.
