    Oh my gosh!


    Back to the bike :p

    Swingarm linkage bearings have all been done as some rollers were missing from them and the calipers are being done too

    The Pistons are quite possibly the sexiest things I have ever held, and I'll never see them again!

    They reckon at the wheel they are around 115-120 so I'm looking at 138-145 and around 98~lb

    Should be 'interesting'!

    Collect the bike tomorrow and will have a look at the graphs etc

    Pulling 136 but restricted by the airbox... Next expensive purchase that should allow a tune of around 143(ish)

    Will report back after the ride :p
