here they are mate
these were taken this arvo - the bike basically did not look like this until about 10pm on Friday night !!
this is what it looked like on Wed arvo....
The suspension is way too stiff at speed, much chatter through T3 at WP yesterday. Rearset linkage needs to be shortened to get the action more comfortable. The quick-action throttle I used is a piece of crap on a 4-cyl bike with a big return spring......its good for a MX bike with a single carbie though - the Dellórtos will need a trick throttle actuator arm and I should be able to build in some good adjustment and also lighten the action immensely. Exhaust system needs to be a better design.
Good news though - the brakes are fabulous ! Love those AP Lockheeds, although they will have a limited lifespan on this bike as there is a set of Brembo calipers sitting on the bench
Next round is some time away - July - so most of the mods I want to do - including the build of a dinkum race motor - should be done by then.....
