Exactfit coils, NGK racing plug caps and Shorai battery. There's room for a spare coil and Kokusan ignition box

Given that the bike is a Scrambler now and the battery/air box mount is only the two bolts below the battery, might I suggest making a third support with the available screw holes shown here going forward to maybe the ignition switch, the OE frame mount in front of the vertical carb or somewhere else maybe? It could be a bad situation if you’re out ‘scrambling’ and the battery box comes loose under that metal tank...
Love the build mate. Just a suggestion.

Thanks you blokes

Maybe an alloy strut to stabilize that battery box?

Exactly. I cut up a few carbed Monster air boxes and never liked how loose the remainder was.

So, random thought. I've seen tests where people have put their cone filters in the grill opening for what was supposed to be a ramair effect, but then they actually gained power when the filter was pulling from the engine bay or fenderwell since it was much less turbulent/more consistent. Any thoughts about blocking off the frame in front of the filters so the side-feed? Maybe just with cardboard to test it?
I'd also like to see you use a skidplate but now I'm just being picky

That plastic panel above the regulator guards the filters pretty well I reckon. The K&N filter covers don't just stop water and dirt, but help smooth turbulent air.
I'm waiting for a buddy to modify a skid plate from a generic alloy type. He said to cut a whole in the skid plate for the oil filter, buy an alloy coffee cup from a camping store, cut it down and weld it onto the skid plate over the hole to protect the oil filter. He's a clever bugger and very handy. He's stranded in NZ at present but we'll work on that when he gets home.

Thought I'd fit the Ohlins with new spring.

One little mod I made sure I did was replace the motor to frame earth cable with a heavy duty and longer one that can be pinched between the frame and the rearset bolt, rather than being held on behind the rearset with a nut. New hardware and heavy duty terminals were used.

Set up DU440 shock with about 5mm preload for starters. Used oem damping settings of 14 clicks rebound and 12 clicks compression. Shock is very responsive to adjustment which is a good sign.

These await the forthcoming tyre change. The question is Pirelli MT60RS or Metzler Karoo Street?
