Thanks, fellas. Good to hear after the long road

Quick question, where did you get screen from ??

Got it from Top Rider (Australia) importers of Jap bikes and race bike preppers. They make them in-house to suit their wide NC35 raceglass (for wide rads). But it's fitted to a slimmer Tyga front fairing in that pic so probably close enough to a universal fit. Seem to recall having it fitted to an NC30 fairing in the past too? Probably pretty well priced even with UK shipping.

Thought I'd post an ammusing happening from my last race - wasn't so ammusing at the time though!

The bike was set up perfectly prior to the race, but during qualifying the engine was breaking down around corners. I had to muscle it to stand it up out of corners and get on full power. Luckily it was a wet session, and didn't hurt too much.

I was baffled with the problem and initially thought it may have been pilot jets that I had changed without testing - but I couldn'r be arsed taking the carbs off between sessions. But the problem only occurring in corners just didn't seem right.

To cut a long story short it turned out that I had overfilled the tank (missed the warm-up session to run the tank down) and it was overflowing via the bottom of the tank (where the hose goes as standard) and into my open carbs when in corners = very rich Anyway, drained a bit out of the tank and all was good!

A pretty good traction control measure in the wet anyway
