RE: oil pickup
I cant say that i have ever dropped the pan in my bike so i dont know for sure, but i was under the impression ours was already in the back of the pan. I know like my Gix, the pickup was in the front, so when wheelied the oil would flow to the back away from the pickup, where the 54 does not have that problem i dont think. Maybe someone else can verify that 100%.

RE: oil pickup
on 54s and 29s, the pickup is near the back of the pan. (i have dropped the pan multiple times on both of them) no need to worry about oil starvation on these bikes (although to be on the safe side i overfill my engine 1/3 to 1/2liter. NOT a whole liter, like some people say). (you can also verify this by looking at the manual-it shows a diagram, ie: where the oil pickupis exactly,in the lubrication chapter) A little known fact that honda designed the oil pickup to be in the back of the bike technically for 'hard acceleration,' where the oil will be pushed to the back of the bike momentarily. the 900rr had the oil pickup in front, and engines were seizing... not after hard acceleration, but after long wheelies!
as for your 636, i cant see how no one makes an oil pickup for it, seeing as how a lot of pro stunters are using them. you might call stuntex (www.stuntex.com ... the 636 is not listed on their website, but their site is really old)
