A Nice Seafood Dinner

[ceo012384]

Mounted a whiteboard above my toolchests:



Picked up a full Zaino detailing kit... this shit is head and shoulders above other detailing products. No joke.



Mounted up the new radiator and filled with engine ice:



Removed the stock O2 sensor and installed the PCIII... downloaded the DynoJet map for my setup on there temporarily until I get a map:



Mounted up the new gas tank:



Filled her up with fluids and took a shitty video... I'll take a better one soon:

Mounted the track bodywork:









Cut frame slider holes:





Mounted the new set of tank sliders:





Drilled/cut frame slider holes in the street plastics:



Threw on some sexy TWFix stickers as well:





Then I stripped her all down again, and got everything I'm painting ready for paint. The full set of track bodywork, the airbox cover, my backup gas tank, the stock fender and the two midfairings:



Now she's just hanging out waiting for next week's track days, as am I



Thursday at 2pm I'm getting a dyno and custom map done for the bike.

Monday on my way up to the track I'll be grabbing the bodywork.

Got a sweet sox flag for the garage from Ebbs (thanks!):



Got some cleaning brushes, 1/4 T-handle, spring puller, cable luber, 3/8 T-handle with spin bearing:



Got a set of ratcheting wrenches... metric, 8-19mm, and have the X-Beam handles for comfort:



Helds had some minor repair, and grabbed a new seat cowl:



Got the bike dynoed and a custom map made:



Silky smooth torque curve in the powerband. Can't wait to ride her:

Installed exhaust slider:



Got my suit back from repairs. Silver panel, black patch, and crotch patch are all new. Guy did an amazing job.











Bike felt fucking awesome at the track. Still waiting on pics and video and stuff... was only able to find one shot online:



Bodywork is back with the painter. Shit's gonna be sick.

More to come...

Mounted a hook for my suit in the garage



Received and installed the woodcraft 3 piece brake lever that was backordered



Threw a Puig black double bubble windscreen on the stock front cowling. Have a clear oem for the race plastics. No switching necessary now.



Threw on the new pazzo clutch lever, will keep the rashed one as a spare



Threw on a fresh set of stompgrips



Put most of the stock fairings and lights back on



I found a couple pics that some spectators took from the last track days. This series through T6 and T7 up into T8 I thought was pretty cool.





Hard on the gas




Wish this one was in focus, I like it.


Starting to pick my body up to throw it over into T8

Worked on the workbench. Assembled the Ikea kitchen base cabinet and cut drawer liners for all the drawers:



Worked on the countertop. Cut it to length, then used some 220 grit sandpaper to give a light sand to the top and sides. Then I cleaned up all the dust with some tack cloth:



Laid down stickers and then a really thick coat of Parks' Super Glaze. Might do another coat just to add to the durability:







The space on the right is for this bad boy:



Also picked up a set of wheels for track tires that should arrive this week:

Picking up all the painted plastics tomorrow.

Track photos showed up.

Here is everything... full set of race plastics, oem mid fairings, airbox cover, intake covers, and fender. The race plastics have number plates with silver pinstriping around them. I got only one number plate on the front because I thought that looked a lot nicer.



Race plastics:











Trimmed the black border off the red/white replica stripes, going to install them next Saturday. That will give the paint another week to cure.



I also had the dent in the old tank pulled out and primered. I'll paint this at some point and throw another set of sliders on it to have as a backup.



Picked up a spare fuel pump



Spare set of wheels showed up... cleaned them up, now they're ready for rubber:



I installed all the street parts... she looks fucking awesome!
Notice the mid fairings (long skinny ones), airbox cover and intake covers are all painted now, instead of grey bare plastic:














I Threw a couple more stickers on the workbench and then laid another coat of Super Glaze down. Covered it up with a sheet for dust prevention and left it to cure:



A couple photos I picked up arrived. I'm going to get some frames for them and hang them up. One is Valentino Rossi leading Jorge Lorenzo and Nicky Hayden from the 2008 MotoGP race in Laguna Seca CA. The other is a print of an autographed photo of the king of smooth himself, Kenny Roberts.
