Making the gap closer, not catching  cheeky

That's the fun part of my track riding - I can't open up any distance on ANY bike on the straights, so I have to do it during braking and turning - which shouldn't be possible on my bike...

I like the people in and around SBK better, but I'll entertain any sensible offers - provided they are good career moves  Cool

That's the best way to chose a series to race in Smiley. So, you got me inspired (well, so did other things), so I picked up a bike older than me to run in historics here in Aus:


It's won a few trophies, so now I have to live up to the efforts of the previous owner:


I look forwards to seeing how you go in WSBK Cheesy.

So cool Stopintime[clap] - inspiring!

Can you summarize what you have modded on your bike to get it ready to race? What fairing are you running?

I already had the suspension and brakes done, so it was just a few things to satisfy the regulations....

safety wire caliper bolts, oil plugs & filter
install shark fin (mine is custom, but there are other options out there - most require drilling the swingarm)
plug off the oil drain hole in the air box
lead the gas overflow into a catch tank (model air plane type)
remove tail piece (license plate, rear light and turn signals)
remove or tape off headlight
remove mirrors
remove or zip tie the side stand
rent, borrow or buy a transponder (we use MyLaps)
'fill' the tank with foam or Explosafe

The local/National regulations and how hard the inspectors are will also vary, I guess.

Looks like clip-ons and rear sets as well, right?  I'm surprised not to see sliders. That is a very pretty bike to be racing!

Sliders are a sure way to ruin your bike, as they tend to grab and cause the bike to flip instead of just slide. Unless they're under the bodywork then they're a bad idea for racing/track IMO.

Yes, clip ons on ~3" risers.
CycleCat DRS53 rearsets.

Sliders are not required to race - only for crashing  cheeky
I don't know, but maybe they're better for low speed slides and tip overs...
