They are quite expensive on ebay

Cheers, Kev
I didn't need a service kit, the seals were fine and the pistons came up well with a little clean,

Chris.

I serviced my calipers, wish id taken them full y apart now as i could have
had similiar results, my brakes work great, but i bet the improvement from a full strip, seal/piston clean is night and day !!

Fitted my new rear tyre, and it feels good. Just a wombles shame it took the dealership four and a half wombles hours. You can guess who's never getting my business again! I went in at 9, with a booking, and leave at half 1.. Seriously, what the wombles

Oops I confused you there Micky. The guys are right, both standard calipers, just one is upside down.

boy do I feel like an a** right about now.......

and btw, caliper looks awesome!

Went over to Carl's where he fitted my carb balancing tubes , tweaked the tuning and replaced the generator inspection cover cap thingumygig that managed to work itself out recently . The bike sounds so much better now, I was surprised how much noise comes out the missing cap hole, it sounds almost as if he's replaced my baffles too (boo!). Noticable improvement to the idling too .

All in all a very good day, thanks Carl! But I left my chain at his gaff

Went to the Dyno with ck and amcq we had a good few test runs between us .
Now I just need to find out why my 3 yellow wires from the genni are getting fecking hot and turned the wires on the loom side brown and hard .
And why both my tail lights popped .

Dyno graphs comparing lloydies new engine with my bike

Green line is lloydies hig comp gas flowed bike

Red is my bike with std headers and Remus gp cans

Blue is my bike with Ti big bore race system ( but not tried to jet it yet)

Lloydie's bike is jetted or this is base for it?

I'm going to have another play with my needles tomorrow and see if I can get some mid range back and also try different length stacks .

It's the base to work upon

Don't think it'll give more top end till I fit the k&n filter and yoshi cams .
It's the mid range I want back :-(
So if I can boost that then fit the rest of it and if it feels stronger I'll go back to the Dyno and play some more as it can give more ,I just need to eek it out of it but by bit .
My seat of the pants Dyno is getting better as I set it up like that

Without cams and filter it is pretty good imo. Hope midrange can be sorted, but now i am little worried about my radical heads
My engine will be ready in half of april I hope.

And I'm looking forward to it .
Be good to see other tuning work with Dyno charts

Yep busy day today. New plugs, Oil and filter changed. Carbs off stripped cleaned and put back together, TPS adjusted was in the 800's and is now 499 ish. Carb sync vacuum lines fitted and run conveniently up to the battery and capped off. Mixture adjusted and carb balance done. Busy day which ended up being a race against the weather.

Try this Carl so you don't have to twist your head
