| Cheers for the comments Ali, I was originally thinking of bringing the Hybrid to Brands, but after riding it with the front end that came with it I decided that wasn't a option. That front end gave me no confidence under braking and would have detracted from my first experience of the GP circuit.
Now with the Ohlins forks fitted it is a lot better and with some minor tweaking will be fit for the track. As such I am hoping to put the track bodywork on it for Cadwell on the 25th, I just need to get the time off work as when I booked it we had a different shift pattern at work and moe staff.
But I hope to be there with both the Hybrid and the DD bike and hopefully staying off the grass at hall bends.
Although the 998 Hybid is well suited for the track with the Mag arm, matching linkage and shock the 996 is to take over from my 916 as my main run around road and track bike. it already has a longer arm fitted and will soon have the reworked forks from my 916 fitted along with adjustable offset yokes, mag wheels, FBF slipper clutch and various other goodies.
My reasons for doing DD on a budget are paying off as it is allowing me to sort my other toys out..
Once the 996 is finished I think I will have to get on with the 955, although the 996 will take a little while yet as I am still wondering about things like what injection set up to use, the standard twin 50mm injectors off the 996BP or will I be able to fit the 748R shower injectors and the airbox that goes with it.  |
