Thanks Bud

Managed to carry on with some stuff while waiting for fork extensions, tail light, under guard all fitted and wried, fuel pump wired in, clocks all wired up to stock 14 wiring plugs to keep them plug n play, still got a whole host of stuff to do

also had a play with where exhaust can needs to be

Nah I'll just keep evolving it mate

Here's a video of the first fire up of the project, all went well only 1 minor fuel leak coming from the fittings on the fuel pressure gauge so happy enough with that

And here's a pic of where I had to route the fuel lines, not the cleanest of solutions but allows quick removal of the fuel tank

Got some lay down blocks for the rear shocks off a member of the ZRXOC arrived yesterday and fitted, now I can spin the eccentrics back the right way up, gives the bike a nicer stance aswell imo

Video quick walk round and fire up of the bike out of the cave for a change

Well nearly done, got some emergency extensions built for the forks and put the whole thing together, first short test ride was a bit of a disaster as didn't realise I'd put gear linkage in moto gp mode! ended up going 2nd to 1st!! lol fueling needs sorting still and speedo needs the sensor hooking up, also got a bit of an issue with the tank breathing so going to have to address that too

Looking good though if I do say so myself

still a few things I'd have took more time on if I'd given myself more time!! lol

Oh and the flexi pipe you can see in the middle of the exhaust will be gone soon as it goes to zorstec to be finally fit n finished
