Whoa, Just been reading the last 2 years of this! Truly stunning bike :grin:

How is your flatslide setup going? I'll know a lot more in about a month when I finally get mine to the dyno so I'll share the info. How much engine work have you done/plan on doing? That is next on my list!

Hi!

Thanks mate, always good to hear someone's reading, even if I'm not the quickest to update these days. The bike build is on the back burner, other stuff (like building my own garage has taken a lot of time, but little things are happening every now and then...

The FCRs are yet to be assembled into a working unit, and doing that is something I really look forward to! Making them actually work seems a bit tough (see Michael's thread!) so we'll have to wait and see. There's always FI if the FCRs turn out ugly!

Engine wise, I haven't decided on any heavier mods, just a proper rebuild for starters. The cost involved in large HP NC engines seem scary, to say the least..!

Some progress on the rear headers. Now the rest is pretty much straightforward routing, but to get them pipes, at correct lenghts, to fit between frame, shock reservoir and themselves wasn't super easy...

And again, what the fu... is wrong with my photobucket? Can't seem to get the links to display anything anymore...
