[phillc]

For me, £3584.50 so far.

I'm sure it could have been done cheaper than that, but I've tried to be pretty honest about my expenditure and included every thing that was bought for "racing."

An excel spreadsheet detailing my costs and some more insight as to what the money was spent on and how the bike was set up can be found here - http://kapitalmoto.co.uk/node/101

Given my initial results you may not wish to follow my set up preparation proceedure to the letter! Then again, I'm sure that the bike is fine and that the rider needs further enhancements.

there are far to many nuts and bolts holding it together,think i counted 12 each side of the fairing,and thats without the top part.......it will be ok for trackdays,and testing this year.....

but would rather have duzs faster on the new fairing,plus the seat unit wasnt on very well,like i say its ok for testing.but will change it for racing..

where did you get the sticker done for the bike,i really like them!! would like to get some more made!!

[kye]

They are just normal vinyl cut ones ordered off the internet, however my mate Andy at ANR Performance UK has sticker cutting and printing capabilitys

He printed all the stickers / photo's on the Scooter Shop van if you saw it? Give him a ring and he'll sort you out
