[bigtwinthing]

Small screen on after modifying brackets as i ordered the wrong year, Wow much better Its amazing how much a small screen can change the wind blast. New avatar needed soon (Hint hint!!! You know who you are . On the hole very very pleased with it. Brakes feel stronger and i quite like the linked bit!

NZ,

Post a couple of pics please and report how it feels at speed.

Thanks!

Will do photos over the weekend. Ive got quite a set of up and back risers on it but its to much. I have normal clamps which I will try next. With the bigger blocks it gave the front a very vague feel.

the best mod ever MR flywheel called today and left me my newly lightned flywheel. omg what a difference. like a new bike. seems to be a lot smoother across the rev range, it pulls a lot harder and 6k is a riot lol.... i was a bit excited to get it on and forgot to weight the thing . but the basket was taken down to 135mm and the weight is down to 114mm..... happy bunny

big cheers to Varastorm for the lend of the mandrel to get it done.

when i stop smiling... first impressions is revs so much faster but it has smoothed the engine out, i was expecting it to be lumpier but at say 70 ish its a lot smoother. there seems to be a bit more of a harsh bark outa the pipes when it starts to revs? as in it kinda feels more like a two stroke comming onto its power. bloody great

Yep more buzzing less thumping .
I've got to get one more done for the track bike and thinking I might go a little lighter than I normally do them .

Had to buy a new battery for it, ride to work fine but when I hit the starter to come home it spun over one revolution (not sluggish or slow) and stopped cranking.
Tested the battery voltage at 12.6v, but even sidelights had it drop to 3v or less.
Got a new exide battery from euro car parts for £40 and she fired straight up, charging voltage at 13.5v

Never heard of a battery going down like this, fine one second and dead the next, it wasn't even a cold day, a sunny 23 degrees c

Batterys are like women, unreliable when needed. ( My wives out )

So it seems.
Never known one to die so suddenly in the 22 years I've been riding.
