Out of curiosity with the way you plan to setup the exhaust, are you jetting the bike yourself or leaving it for a pro.

I'll take it to the dyno ;)

Harder to jet properly without a rolling road and a fuel/air meter

Brought an Ammeter to install on the dash so I can keep an eye on the charging / discharging in real time ;)

Well anybody who's read the 'argh' thread knows that all the rain we've had lately led to the engine filling up with water! Gutted.

Parafin gun on standby and with plenty of WD40 I blasted the shit out of the engine ;)

I've used PJ1 Fast Black Gloss Engine / Case Paint to re-paint the Genny Cover / Clutch Cover / Rocker box covers. They look really good now!

Since the engine was full of water i've gotten it back in the frame and got it running to get rid of the water.

Can start work on the Forks / Swinging Arm now :-)

Subframes all good!
