Dude I must have missed the last updates with the fairing etc, that looks spanking. Definitely would be proud of that. Thumbs Up

Some bits of winter messing done. Never been happy with the Yamaha fuse box with glass fuses, just shite. So cut it out and fitted a 4 way blade fuse box. Also was never happy with the CDI harness, as All that comes with the CDI is a plug I had to take the wires from the loom straight to the plug but there was just enough length resulting in the wires being under stress. Managed to get hold of a new plug and sub harness off a a fella called Rick Oliver who does a lot of stuff for VRF/RVFs, bought my ignitech off him for my old NC30 ages ago. Sent it me for free, was a big help, would recommend him to anyone..

So cut the old plug out and replaced it with the new loom.

Also replaced a few bits and bobs, the odd connector etc. The thing with building something like this is that you get so much practice during the build that by the end of it you end up wanting to re do half the stuff you did at the beginning!!

Nothing worth taking pics of on that front but pleased to keep improving little bits. Changed the bottom hose to a re inforced flexi hose as its a bit of an awkward shape... Changed my clutch Spring bolts to titanium, dunno why, pointless really but they're shiny Smile

Topped back up with water and tested quickshifter I wired into the ignitech, seems to work well. Banged it through a few gears here.

Only job left really is my side stand lengthened or a foot welded on then I'm good to go when the weather picks up.

Not a bad idea was thinking of getting it dipped but probably wouldn't look as good as it does now. I've seen people wrap fuel tanks in real carbon will look into how it's done, wouldn't mind having a go. There's a bracket at the front that could do with being done too.

New radiator and R6 fan worked great, ran well, quickshifter was really smooth. Still some work to do on the carbs and ignition but it was perfectly rideable.

I may have to look into the nova close ratio conversion or mix and matching some banshee gears as some of the gear changes seem a bit far apart but that's for another day...
