    Here's what I've ordered. That will be it for mods. I might tune the suspension later, will give the bike a try before.

    -Vortex rear set
    -520 chain and spocket, 16 front 44 rear.
    -Galfer superbike brake lines (Front only)
    -frame sliders
    -Speedo healer
    Happy wife, happy life.

    Why do you need a Speedohealer for the track?

    I don't need it at all. They are not that expensive though and I like my speedo to be accurate.

    A Sigma Sport bicycle computer is more accurate than a stock speedo, and uses wheel diameter, so it stay the same even if you change gearing. It's also a lot cheaper than a speedohealer.

    You should rarely, if ever, look at your speedo on the track. You should be concentrating more on RPM, gear selection, brake markers, etc.

    Guys! I never look down at my speedo, I just like it to be accurate, mostly for mileage. I can remove it from my list if you like...

    Here you go V, like you asked, before http://www.motorcycleaddicts.org/att...et-bike-16.jpg and after pics DSC_0872.JPG.

    There's still some work to be done but it's going well. We've got the brake lines, chain, spocket, rear sets and some body work done. Tomorrow we should be all done with the body work

    BTW, I'm having a blast! I'm working outside, in shorts, on my bike, you can't really ask for more! Thanks DrHall!!!
    Happy wife, happy life.

    No problemo!

    Glad you are dealing with the "garage" ok!

    The bike is taking shape nicely. Jet is not TOO bad to have around...

    Actually, I am having a great time! Been doing a bit of bike prep myself, too.

    Looking good dude... I see you went with the SBK lines. I haven't ridden mine yet but with that same setup it's got the hardest squeeze of any brakes I've seen.

    I'm planning on doing some painting on mine this week and maybe I'll even sneak in a ride up and down the street.

    Word of advice: If you change the exhaust, leave the servo motor hooked up.... when disconnected it will throw the ECU into idiot mode and combined with a power commander can cause fuelling fuckups that will nearly blow your engine up on the dyno, then you will have to spend $150 on a new servo motor because you destroyed the old one trying to figure out how to jump the wires to fool the ECU only to find out that it's actually smarter than you.

    That's what I heard.

    I'm starting to wonder if that was part of the problem with my 06 1000RR at the track last year. It fouled the plugs first try in the morning, on a cold day. I'm sure they had the bike sorted out for racing conditions, but the servo motor is gone. I'll have to check over the wiring harness to see if they did some sort of "bypass" or jumped some wires together. The FI "light" is on all the time on my LCD when the bike is running.

    Thanks for the advice, but I really think I'm going to stick with the stock system..... We'll see.
