Well today was spent addressing some of the things that I picked up on during the test session at Brands

The gear position has been adjusted and the rod end bearings replaced as the original ones had seen better times.
I pulled the bike back up the forks by 6mm hopefully improving the front rear balance.
The original sump plug was replaced with a easily lokwireable one from Ant at Avanti, The oil strainer was drilled and wired. A pair of scrubbed Dunlops fitted. After making a mounting bracket the Red backed Scitsu was fitted to the bike and finally the standard air filter was replaced by a K&N filter.

Hopefully a few more hours on it tomorrow and it will be finished ready for next Friday
