I yanked the lights, turn signals, etc, and added some number plates. After much searching, I found a belly pan for a vintage Ducati that I could adapt to fit to meet the requirements of our club. I drilled and safety wired all of the required bolts. I bled the brakes. I put on a new set of Michelin Pilot Power 2CT's (I went with street/track tires as I'll still be using it on the street, and have found them to be extremely good on the track as well).
Last but not least, I added a Scotts steering damper, which for this bike requires welding a piece to the frame . The only time I've really felt a need for a damper was on the straight at Grattan, when I got a pretty good headshake going at 115 MPH, but it's required by the club, and probably not a bad thing to have.

Lessee... Next will be motocross, supercross, arenacross, baja and trials? Do we need an intervention?
I'll bet that is tons of fun. I wish there was someplace for you to put your signature bwhip on it without messing with the factory graphics. The only thing I can think would be
b on the fender.
