Good stuff.. Make sure you get a switch with a light in it so you know if the ignition is left on. My fuel cap was operated by a screwdriver.. an easy race mod.. :-)

If your after brake lines we're about to do a group buy.

Damn that soon?? I may not even have my leathers back from the shop by then........ or (insert other excuse here)..... :lol:

I've done the oil and filter change, lubed the chain, removed the choke cable, ditched the ign from the triple clamp, wired in an on/off switch under the seat, fitted ram duct and dash braket from other bike and was tempted to wip out the choke butterflys while i had the airbox off but I'll do some more homework first.

Took the bike for a quick strap to see if there were any g/box issues....goes good, even popped a wee mono shifting into second.
