At last weekends tyre test the bike was certainly running ok on the reworked harness connected to the proper 620 clocks and ECU, well apart from the rear cambelt jumping a tooth. All seemed OK after resetting it, but a Valve clearance check and leakdown test will see if the valves are seating OK.

Just finished fitting the 2 into 1 conversion and just need to mark it up to have some spring mounting loops welded on to hold it all in place.

I'll post some better pics when its all finished

Looks nice Kev, be interesting to see if there is any loss of mid or top end if you dynoed it with both systems on.

Bike is looking clean, seems a shame that you had to sling it into the scenery at Mallory just to get me to hose it down for you though.

With a week off I will have to see if I can get a bit more done, ideally I would like to carry out the leak down test to check the sealing of the valves in the rear head following the belt jumping in my lateset Mallory crash and if all is OK I would like to get it over to GP performance for a Dyno run.

If I can get that done I can see about fitting my latest aquistion picked up earlier today in the form of a 2004 engine of the 6-speed variety as used by Dave Ainscough aka MLC racing. Once the engines are swapped I will be looking at getting another Dyno run carried out to see if there is any obvious differnce in power. That will then be followed by the fitting of a PC3 USB and probably more Dyno time

Miles check out the pics a few posts above
Andy (Banger San) just borrowed one off me and took it back to the guy who made it to have a similar one made for his Monster

Miles, as Skid's said I've just had one made that retains the std rear header and you just need to cut the cross piece off, well pleased. Will upload photo when I get home tonight.

What's the advantage of a 2 into 1?
