Carbs have now been rejetted and along with the mods described in my other thread http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=44575.msg494931#msg494931
I have increased sizes of jets to 115/130.
Hopefully I'll be doing a bit more riding once I get the bike registered and legal in the coming weeks.

Hey man, I just picked up this bike and I've been following your build closely to help with mine. Curious as to where you picked up materials to build your seat. Any info is much appreciated, thanks!

So had a little trouble trying to get my bike legal in NZ without a front mudguard!
Recently I had replaced my front guard on my Ducati 996 with a better new type, so I had an old carbon front guard leftover that I thought would come in handy one day!
Cut an approx. shape out with a grinder, massaged it a little to fit on the standard bracket
Once happy with the shape I decided to clear coat it, but I also added some of the metallic graphite that I used to paint the bike with, this way you can still see the carbon weave through it
Looks pretty good I think
I still need to wet sand and polish but it looks pretty good on the bike and is a little different than the norm....

I used an exhaust cement that dries really hard! Just smeared it all around and pushed them together.
It doesn't leak and seems to be lasting well, although there isn't really any movement in my system so this helps.
Quite nasty stuff if you get it on your skin but works well.

Awesome build. I've gained some inspiration for mine after seeing the work you've done. I was wondering how the bike was running with the pod filters and shorty mufflers. I'm looking to do the same setup.

I like this, kind of a mixture of styles.
Hey from Australia,
Have just purchased one of these at well and looking for ideas for my upcoming build
Just wondering how you went going from pipes straight into mufflers?
I've read that without the collector box there can be a noticeable drop in power but want to do something similar to what you've done
thanks Matt
