Update


I rode the bike the other week at Brands Hatch GP, it rained all day so it was my first time on a 600 with wets.  I got pretty comfortable in the end but i'm still slow in the rain.  No problems burning oil this time and i didn't bin it, so overall a success.  I did have trouble getting the bike up to temperature, in the end we'd taped up almost the entire radiator.

Work has continued on the water pump controller, we tested it this weekend with the pump taking water from the tap as it needs positive pressure. It needs a closed system for me to properly load test the controller so I welded up my spare radiator and will test it again during the week.

  1. Hi phil, bike looks good, pity it rained at brands, got any more pics? How did it handle? My bike needs some severe raising up, I think my forks are too short. Just wondered how long are your forks? Maybe I have to ditch the fireblade ones.

  2. Handling seems ok so far, but to be fair i haven't been going very quick. I'm not sure on the length, but i'm pretty sure I set them up to be the same as standard steelie forks.
