That's not bad

[1-600-matt]

The bike was mostly black with a green tail. Should I go fully black or put a bit of colour in the scheme? What do peeps think?

Beware the curse of the track bike paint job! Go simple.

I have been caught by it before. I'm hoping if I paint it straight away I'm in with a better chance of missing the curse. Maybe all black is the way to go

Do a cheap rep!

All black and scuff up the sides. Saves worrying about messing it up

I'd do a plain spray job and stick some decals on it. I've never had a track bike, though, so what do I know?

Looking and sounding positive apart from the crack.is it an issue to take back to them or an easy fix and keep them?

Pretty sure it's just in the gel coat. I will just put a little filler in it and live with it.

They are wafer thin in a few places. I'm well on with fitting them and I will need to lay a bit of fibreglass on the inside to beef them up a bit. Not great, but still a cheap easy fix.

Has the full damage been assessed now?

Has the full damage been assessed now?

Yeah. Repairs are well under way.

Parts bought:
Footpeg hanger, footpeg, shift rod rose joint, fairing, screen, LHS crash bung, exhaust + link pipe(pipewerx), arrow steering damper mount broken and being reverse engineered at a local machine shop

Repairs or damage:
Air intake repaired, tank dented, mudguard scratched, gen NRC casing scratched/worn, clutch lever tip worn, brake fluid reservoir to be replaced, subframe bent at the tail end which I will live with

In a separate matter the brake discs on my wets are warped and I need to replace them... Any recommendations for an affordable after market brake disc?
Also would like to pc3 and custom map it, but £465 at JHS to supply, fit and dyno is a bit more than I want to spend. Does this sound like a fair price?

[1-600-matt]

Here we go. Three jobs left to do, pc3 to reposition, new rear sprocket to fit and steering damper to fit.

Here is how it's turned out...



And the dyno output.

Mods for power? Or just mods?

For power, not much, piper cross filter and link pipe and end can. So engine is stock. It's using some oil so there are some losses in the engine anyhow. Over 18k miles on it now.

almost looks ride able now.....
