| Not a lot been going on this week, I am now picking the other engine up on Monday.
I made a template at work to allow me and Senna3 to adapt some billet rearsets we already have to fit our SS's and hope to make the actual adapter plates tomorrow evening.
Popped over to Brancatto Engineering this morning to pick up a couple of base gaskets and circlips for the piston. Pulled up outside to find Dallas there getting some seat foam for his ZX10R
Had a very interesting chat with Tony and Donna about the series.
Donna showed me the porta stand they do that acts as a centre stand on the SS's and allows you to remove the swingarm, shock etc and with a support under the front of the engine will even allow you to remove the frame. at around £60 including the VAT I may see if Kev (Senna3) wants to go halfs on one, they are small enough to fit under the seat of a SS so will take up little room in a van.
I'm looking forward to getting a oil tight engine that doesn't knock fitted as I can then get on with sorting the brakes and suspension. I will worry about the fairing later as the bike is currently with lights etc and should pass a MOT with a couple of minor jobs. Then I can get out on it to assess its potential as a race bike and try a few different settings.  |
