Carb balance if I got the right bits
Most important part is the the brass adapter.

And if you get a couple of blanking plugs which you will see at the checkout, you could end up like this http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 30#p259491

And you need a T Piece which you can get from Halfords

Carbtune are exceptionally fast on delivery. Highly recommended.

Cheers carl have got brass thingy but not convinced it's right.
T piece on order hope will be in on time also have pipe. (cable tie end of pipe will blank it off)

:lol:

I've been monitoring it too, like you say it's getting drier day by day, so as long as I keep you all topped up with tea/coffee/whisky and bbq food, you should be ok!

My mate is going to bring his big gazebo over and set it up on friday night, so if there is a passing shower we won't get disturbed/wet.

for us midlands lot it looks like we will get wet all the way there, whne we are there it might still be raining then dry out, but we could have a dry run home :D

those odds are good enough for me.

CK, is your bike going to be ready?

I am hoping it is. Iv had to order another set of forks today :( as the old ones are wombles. They should be here before 1pm tomorrow. So it will be a mad rush home from work. Pick up the forks, my brother, all our gear, race back to Lloyds, fit new steering head bearings, New front wheel bearings, change the oil in the new forks, fit them and test ride it before going to bed for an early start.

So much that could go wrong. Hopefully it will all go together well and be fine. But I shall update Friday night.

Now if this isn't dedication I don't know what is :lol:

We could go a faster way to get there instead of spending 4 hours getting there in the rain and thank that good route home .
And you wouldn't have to be up so early ???
