haven't put anything in here for a while :P
A few little changes since then and the bike is pulled apart again for some more changes. Mainly cleaning up some things that i didn't to right the first time around and a couple of other bits.
One thing i've done was to add a steering damper as i had to get rid of the original one because it was in the way of the headlight. still need to clean up the mount and paint it properly.

so this is how it's sat for about 6 weeks now.

Being an Italian bike the spaghetti was EVERYWHERE! but it's basically under control now, and i've added this:

At the drags in December of last year I noticed a little crack in the subframe, so i whipped those off (the main motivation for pulling it back apart) and i've welded a slug in the back part to stiffen it a little bit. Not perfect, but it's sure in there and with a tiny bit of bog and some paint it'll look stock :D

Something else i have planned is a bit of a change to the exhaust and a more elegant rear tank mount (mine was a little thrown together.)

How much coins Tim?
Make an offer? (Branded IJR. mounts where the toe peg is on your shifter, has 3 little senitive buttons that only needs one to be pressed by your boot on upshift, everything is adjustable in the DJ software)
5455
but saying that with a microswitch or rear brake switch some wire and a little bit of thinking you can make your own very easy.

I used a micro switch for a quickshifter on the busa and it was easy as and you could hardly even see it. Took a bit to get the cut out exactly right though........and then, well I broke it.
