Unless your tripping over pots of dosh to get out the front door don't pay out for ultra lightweight race battery, something that will spin up a scooter will do.

Like he said.

If memory serves the OE battery weighs in at around 5kgs
and considering that is perched almost on top of the bike does add to the top heavy feeling.

Yer probably gonna need some rearsets or jack up plates aswell. The standard rearsets are a bit low.
You can drop the speedo and underseat tray aswell.

If the bikes ready then try and do the DD test day at Cadwell Friday 14th Sept

Thats a really smart looking conversion. Well done.
Easy to tell it appart from the Badger, Badgers is the one in the dirt usualy mind you its on a personal record so far of a whole race meet with out dirt tracking.

Just because it came back on its own speed every session doesnt mean it wasnt dirt tracking

Hi Dunlop,

Yeah Iv dittched the undertray and the only clock I will be using is the rev counter you can see in the pics.

Like I said I will wait and see how Im doing in the weight stakes before I splash out on a light weight battery.

Iv seen a couple of nicley priced race rearsets for sale on Ebay unless anyone can tell me of a better place to be looking.

It is so tempting to try and get the last couple of meets in this year but I still have a race van/camper to buy, change my 2 peice leathers for a one peice, go for my ACU etc etc and take the family away on holiday for two weeks at the end of August.............Money, I wish it did grow on trees, I have a forest!!
