Re: Project VFR
I don't think you will need overalls, just either normal clothes or your leathers if you are riding up. You get a full brief of whats expected when you are there.
Its probably best to mention on the track day thread on http://www.omcc.co.uk who is intending to come as passes need sorting out prior to the event if possible.

Re: Project VFR
Anyway - back to the bike!
This weekend i sorted the front brakes - the feel awesome!! even though i've not ridden it!! doees that make sense?!!
However in the reservoir, I'm sure there should be a rubbery piece to stop any spills/leaks - like on the VFR one. anyone got any ideas?
I also got the exhuast end can and link pipe finished and fitted - now it looks great! (some pics to follow soon)
Oh yeah, another issue i had was the reservoir catching on the front fairing but I'm sure with a little adjustment I can get it to clear it :)
Next thing to do is possibly sort out the shims and carbs seeing as its mostly stripped down then fire her up once I've relocated the ignition!!
I have also been thinking of a new dash/ display - Ideas?

Re: Project VFR
Yes, there should be. That (I think) is to allow for the fluid to heat up and cool down and not sieze you pistons. You will need that little rubber bit. Probably no more than £10 from a dealership.Smev wrote:However in the reservoir, I'm sure there should be a rubbery piece to stop any spills/leaks - like on the VFR one. anyone got any ideas?
