I checked out the Thunderbike calendar and realised if i didn't enter the Snett-300 meeting the only one i'd be able to enter was the last race of the year. So i've sent off for my ACU licence, entry forms for the Snett meeting and booked a trackday. I've also booked some time on Steve Jordan's dyno to get the bike run in and the carbs setup. I'm getting him to fit the manual cam chain tension, because i'm just not confident on getting the tension right.
So I now need to pull my finger out and get it finished as i'm really tight on time and cant afford to have any problems. My track day is only 4 days before the meeting.
The wiring is all done and wrapped back up (thanks Dad) and i finally finished the foam mould for the ram air duct, coating it in some gel-coat to make it a bit smoother. It needs sanding down and waxing up to make a mould from.
I also took the yoke out, welded up the lock stops (welding was terrible, so no photos) and swapped out the forks for my race set. They feel really stiff compared to the set i took out.
Last big decision is tyres, do i go for the new Bridgestone R10 or Metzler interacts, the R10's look to be about £60 cheaper a set.
