Blinky Blimey Guv' dead posh ignition :wink: , especially when mounted on a bit of carbon fibre board :shock:
I'd recommend MDF board for those of us in the real world, mortgage, CSA, credit card debt.... etc :cry:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Nice bike and well made, not so sure about the cases for pro stock, and although the carbon looks nice, I would suggest you need a lot more to shed a load of weight to make pro stock....but keep up the good work, glad to see someone racing a Kawasaki...

reworked the handlebar setup to get it down to the 560mm minimum, now using a straight bar instead of the renthal dragbar which wont allow the throttle body to push right up ........ but with a bit of jiggerypokery, a wand and a hacksaw n hammer...jobs a goodun

sorry for the long delay.........................
but christmas/new year did'nt see any real progress on the bike,stripped the front end down again,gonna bolt on a carbon blade on the front wheel,swap the gremica front master cylinder to a brembo type radial one(this will enable us to get the handle bar set up down to the minimum 560mm by keeping throttle body flush with the master cylinder)

have a long list of gear to gun drill and re-mill,and got really p*ssed off with farming stuff owt only to wait weeks for simple engineering,so i've took the plunge and purchased a mill and a lathe,got stuck into a really messy garage so by the end of the week,we might see a few more things done...........hopefully..(pics inc)

came back from the states with a hole sh*t load of info,but not many parts and we're still waiting for em

just got in the garage today,so still behind a tad,first time on a milling machine ,found everything pretty straight forward,just gotta take yeh time and not go plowing in,so it probably took us 2/3 times as long to do it as an experienced engineer,glad i bought one with auto feed !!!
