Thanks. These are the number plates that I will be adding- one on the nose under the screen
and two on the tail section

Yet again I will leave the mess of cables under the seat unorganized
and also heavily rely on zip-ties- this is the tip-over sensor on the very tail of the sub

My GPR dampers are back- replaced oil, gaskets and bolts.
$25 for service for each and shipping cost to and from the manufacturer.

These bushings I inconveniently overlooked when replacing my rear shock.
They fit inside of the top clevis and don't allow free play (sway) with the Penske unit

I'll need a functioning rear brake in order to pass tech inspection at the track.
Didn't buy a gsxr1000 caliper with pads, so I got a set of sintered Galfers

Well, the bike surely needs a few things addressed before going to the track but I hope I have time to wrench on it some more this week.
If I can get my suspension geometry dialed in and dyno tune some time next week I'll be only a few weeks behind schedule...

Looks Great Stan. Almost too nice to risk a oppps in a tight turn. :-)

Track bikes look nice and shiny only in the beginning of the season...
After that it's mostly back to unpainted bodywork in primer and lots more zip ties and rough spare parts.
This bike has been down more times than a truck stop hooker, crashes don't worry me much.

I've just been riding the damn thing, no spills this season yet.

Some pics from NJMP Lightning and NJMP Thunderbolt tracks















Her R1



And a little sequence of a clean pass after the S's at Thunderbolt:

Being a long time Pirelli faithful, I've switched to Dunlops and couldn't be happier.
The NTecs just beg to be ridden hard and the bike geometry seems to be easier to dial up for the different tracks

After struggling to figure out why my Woodcraft stator cover just kept leaking oil after replacing the gasket numerous times, I've switched back to the oem cover

And I've just been getting seat time on the 750, although I've added a new bike to the stable

These are the wheels that the 750 will roll on this season, the beautiful and lightest BSTs

I've decided to give the newer Vesrah Super RJL 17 pads a shot, many rave about them.

Again, the 750 has Yamaha R1/R6 monoblock calipers

Promised myself not to get carried away with titanium hardware but couldn't resist some ti brake rotor bolts
