    any tl1000 mods are good.... http://www.terryshepherdtuning.com/
    also PM TLDV8 he will have lots of links for performance enhancments for the tl/sv motors...

    but he's wasting his time racing one of those unless its just for fun....get a 6 hundy

    dude the other guys have pretty well covered it off.
    Im guessing by 'track bike' you mean track day bike.
    To start with -1 Theres fuck all wrong with the front suspension that a bit of tuning wont fix.
    2 Exhaust wise -I cant reccomend the M4 system too much --slightly louder than stock but with charted performance improvements.
    3) the tank lift mod is petty easy to do yaself.
    4) filter wise I wouldn't piss around-Go for a BMC filter -again proven improvement
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    the M4 systems [two to one] has the biggest gains on the TL derived motors

    Yeah, I've got a black sv with black pipes, I'd love a set of K6 black slider unobtanium forks with radial calipers... that'd look wicky

    But back in reality land... the stock (unsetup) ones are little firm even for my fat butt, but nice and predictable

    Poos--Yea i know --I'm running an M4 on Black ice --what they say they do---OHH YEA baby they do
    Imdying--mate keep in mind theyre basicly pre USD gixxer forks -you'll be amased how well they'll work with a lil setup time/work.
    brakes wise though- tricky stuff looks good but to be honest If I had my time over I'da fitted a TL1000 to black ice--heaps easier to set up.

    Thanks for all the info everyone
    I know (dunno if Dad does ) the bike is never gonna be "competitive".
    Its is only a track day bike, so its not really racing as such
    Really, a crisp 600 would have been far more fitting,
    but then he would have no excuse for getting the learn from me


    2much, sounds good man, cheers for the offer, you are a legend!

    Sweet as mate, let me know if you want a switched one cause I'll need to make it before I come down.
    It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
    everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
    You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

    I wouldn't panic too much. Give them some slicks and ditch any excess weight... as far as track days go, he won't be getting hassled too much by the 600s from what I've seen.
