I’m coming down from wgtn so a few hours up the road is easy.

i raced there before they did the extetions... it was a great track.. cept for the right hander infront of the pits...... i found my lean angle.. and bumped my head a bit hard.....now i remember.. everything was great till then....

nice bucket boss,
my first decent road bike was an RZ250 - those seat's n frames are all good in my book.
But the fxr motor? had one of then 1 week - was so boring. economic though

I've considered searching out a Fxr motor for buckets, just out of interest i'm wondering if anyone knows how well they go? would have thought pretty good being 'modern' and everything.

Ive got mine going now, cant tell you how good it is only had the the quick fang around the block ,I was more concerned with anything falling off and was trying to figure if the gearing was wrong, paranoid about jetting. So it will have to wait till Sunday to say what I really think. Sounds good though !

Yep. Had a few issues, so had to start again. Just about there, but I'm not sure the pipe will fit. Then I have to rip that old airbox off, chuck the side cover (carb) on, re-jet (hopefully not), and try to tighten EVERYTHING, including the spokes, to try and eliminate all the flex and hopefully get rid of the death wobble.

Oh, and get rid of all that plasticy shit on the outside of the back tyre. Maybe add a fork brace. Perhaps even clean it! MrsB said I'd be in BIG trouble if I spent all day Saturday on it..... may as well start sleeping on the sofa now...

Ill be ther dont worry and I know a couple of non KBer's that will be in aswell..... we should clown around a bit like have a slow race, just one lap maybe tho and a LeMans start with our leathers down around our ankles (pull up before racing of course)
