Very nice indeed, and one of the "best fit for me" bikes that I have ever sat on.

What surprises me is that I hardly ever seem to see any as trackbikes .???

The riding position seems very similar to an RSV Mille to me,high and narrow but also comfy

They're supposed to be pretty good for adjusting to fit as well, aren't they?

Nice ride! (y)

Very nice mate, I mean all the effort you put in that floor is looking very very swish ;) Bikes not bad too!
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Yeah floor looks great Perkles. You probably already know this but been careful with painted concrete floors as hot tyres can lift the paint apparently. I don't think it happens due to a single event I think its more a cumulative process and the paint gradually peels.

I'm sure you already knew this but just thought I would mention just in case as would hate to see all your hard work ruined. Easy fix is park on a bit of mat or old carpet. Hope the info is helpful.

O2 eliminators and better air filter help. RC8 works well with tuneecu too but you need to get a cable (it doesn't have an obd connector but you can get an adaptor). I have a very good map for mine.

Adjust the gear selector peg to your preference, more leverage makes the gear change better, if you are too gentle when pushing on it can give you the odd false neutral.

I changed my rear sets to Sato (fantastic things). They also do an extra bracket that makes the gear selector more solid and reliable. That's good and you can fit it separately to the rear sets.

I'd also shorten the gearing one or two at the back. Makes the bike a bit easier to manage in traffic (as they hate traffic).

Mallory will be interesting on it as it's far too fast for Mallory IMO but it will outdrag most things out the bus stop (devil)

Oh and how heavy are you? The rear spring is too hard for me so I bought a softer one, makes it ride far better IMO. All depends on your weight and what's already on it. I think it's a 110nm as standard.

Take it from me, there isn't much grip on the grass on the outside of the hairpin :D
