1st Track day...
Was brilliant!!!!!
Now I need, 2 New levers, Screen, Fairing, RHS Rearset, exhaust, and mirrors.
If anyone has any of these bits they are willing to sell on let me know!
Not bad after hitting a tyre wall after topping out 3rd!!!!

Re: 1st Track day...
Also,
I'm thinking about dropping a tooth or two on the front sprocket, anyone got any suggestions on sizes?

Re: 1st Track day...
D'oh!! i'd have taken the mirrors off!. Ive some coerce rear sets if ya interested and two teeth on the front will make a BIG difference. You may be better going up on the rear.
Hope you had a good day tho. The weather was spoton.

Re: 1st Track day...
ouch! I run track fairings and r&g's. What tracks you likely to use? 13 44 or 45 tends to be a good road track combination. If you want specific gearing for most uk circuits i can help there with most

Re: 1st Track day...
mirrors @ a trackday???
are really that stupid?
Never look behind you through mirrors. What happens behind you isnt important. what happens at the fornt does....!
Remove them because if not...you re using them.
remember....the slow ones are the weaker ones and the fast ones always have to "look"after them.

The mirrors were missing previously (Bike fell over on some damp gravel which I thought was hard packed underneath, but apparently not!Variablevalves suck wrote:D'oh!! i'd have taken the mirrors off!.

Gonna Phone randg today, do you use Skidmarx fairings? I've this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUZUKI-GSXR-400-G ... _500wt_956" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
any experience of it?
At the moment I'm not sure, I'll probably mostly be going to Llandow for the forceable future, but there are a fair number closer to home which I may consider depending on cost.stripes1976 wrote:What tracks you likely to use?
Cheers for the advice, I think!!!!NOSfearatu wrote:mirrors @ a trackday???

The weather was absolutely stunning!!! Such a good day, even the crash was a bit rubbish but ultimately didn't really dampen the day.Variablevalves suck wrote:Hope you had a good day tho. The weather was spoton.
