Can't wait to see the results :) Of course, the real results of all your hard work come when you twist the throttle out on the road and by that measure it seems to be a success
Will be interesting to see the numbers but I am quite happy with the mid-range stomp she has now :thumbup: Though while the numbers are nice the real reason is to get the carbs dialed in. They are close, at least I think they are :wink: , but a print out would be nice and really save time with the "dialing in" as the jetting has all been guess work with this eng combo
It will interesting to hear what the Dyno has to say, and for peace of mind it will be helpful to see how close the carbs are as you say.

Good luck for Wednesday, I hope all goes well,

Chris.

Finally decided on a paint scheme for the road bodywork . It’s only took me 9 months . I’m not going to say or show pics so you’ll have to wait .I think it’ll work very well 👍

Took Hamburg & it's pesky flat tyre back to the Mech... It was a puncture which we both missed, even tho the rim was leaking a bit as well.

Swapped the tyre over to a diffrent rim after having the puncture plugged.

Took Nue Red out to fill up ready for tommorow.

Kicked the tyres, filled the scottoiler, washed & polished. Loaded for the weekend. Sorted... :thumbup:

Checked pressures & Pumped up tyres ready for tomorrow, unlike Mac, I haven't bothered to clean mine since the Scotland deluge. It was so wet it almost washed itself on that ride :lol: and I may as well wait till it has some Welsh mud on it before I break out the bucket & sponge and give it a bed bath.

Is that lazy? Am I turning into Tony.mon?

No. I cleaned mine and it's lovely and shiny, ready to ride through the rain on the way to Wales all day today.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Threw it off a valley side road...

Somehow I got away with scuffed fairings, Broken Indi, bar end & gear leaver toesnapped off.

Unfortunatly I have dented my Mori Ti link pipe...

Even more unfortunatly I seem to have faied to download any pics & deleated them from me phone...

Only a sore arm & hip & a ripped jacket...Hugely dented pride... :cry:
