I opened a large box containing this

The craftsmanship on the welds and on the way the 4 parts connect to each other is outstanding.... I don't know whether to put them on the bike or keep them in the house as a work of art :D

That looks nice, Al.
High or mid level?

Today I fitted some manual CCT's on a members' bike, and glass-fibered some glands onto the huge airbox. The seal the entry pipes for the fuel.

Only the Flo-Commander gland/port to fit and sealing round the choke cable somehow and it's ready to go on.
Got the bike booked on a dyno on Tuesday morning, to get a baseline run and some numbers, then maybe I'll try the big airbox in the afternoon and see how much it messes up the jetting!
I'll get that on the dyno another day, after I've played with jetting a bit.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Don't know why I ever bothered with the pilot powers , yes they grip like sh1t but when the pilot road 2s are this good you don't need stickier rubber !
Right from my drive to to when I got back I ragged it and didn't get the rear to miss behave at all , it just gripped and within a mile I got both knees down :-)
