whats your winter project going to be?
Re: whats your winter project going to be?
this is what I want to try and do with the braced swingarm over the winter. boxing in the normal 929 brace to get a beter rigidity and also to make it look more like the modern race bikes.

Re: whats your winter project going to be?
I have considered hard and long what to do to my bike this winter.

1. Get a decently paying job
2. Fix the clutch grab problem.
3. Work out how to install variable stacks, make and fit them, then
4. Dyno it until it's right.
That'll do for winter, I'll think of something else come Spring.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
