That sounded much cleaner than before.
Can you fit a set of clubman bars to move the bar position further forward? Or cut the clipons to a suitable length, mount the bars pointing forwards and then weld a set of drag bars across the stubs. It would give you more room to straighten up/stretch out a bit and would help to keep weight on the front wheel.
It is a lot quicker was only giving it partial throttle and wasn’t on the pipe until I got around the corner. I think a silencer is a good idea. Here is a video for comparison.

John are you using a datalogger?

BB is at the top end of drag racers worldwide and his bike runs in the sevens. To do that consistently he, and others, need to understand and control every variable from weather to slip and so on. As John mentioned, EGT is a number they understand from hours on the dyno.
I used data logging when I set up the GT because it helped me to see how inconsistent I was, but I removed it because it was just another distraction when I needed to focus on set up and my riding. The truth is that a better rider on my bike would probably/definitely be much faster than I am and without any of the distractions. Focus on making it run cleanly and practice the launch. Don't waste more time in the first 60 feet than could ever be made up at the deep end.
Are we done with dyno testing or is there more of that to come?

Need to mount the shift light and BB says we don’t need a tach to launch it.
I agree with BB - I don't think you need a shift light or a tach. These things are basically a single speed engine and it's very obvious whether it's in it's usable rev range or not. Don't be afraid to rev it past its peak when leaving the line - the flywheel energy will help you launch and the load that's applied when you release the clutch will soon pull it down to the torque peak. I think the key will be to have enough launch experience to know exactly what to do and to do it instinctively.
