So Im getting excited about Snetterton, I've made a huge list of things to take, more than the test weekend. I've done a few things to the bike, not all good, like snap a disc bolt, still waiting for my new bolts to come through the post, managed to calm myself down and drill out the remains, took some nerve cos I couldnt make a mistake and damage the wheel rim thread. I just hope they arrive before thursday. Its not the end of the world because I just have to take the wheel with my slicks on and not have a spare front wheel.
Next job was to make a shark fin, found some 3.5 mm AL plate, cut it then heated it up a little and bent it so it could attach to a chain cover bolt hole on the swingarm and bend in under it so its about a cm from the chain and sprocket.
Lastly Ive drilled 2 22 mm holes in the airbox lid, just to try and get a little more air flow in. Advice from vfrdiscussion forum under carburation/airbox stuff. Will try it out on friday, if its too week Ive got some bungs fo
r the holes.changed the front sprocket from 14 to 16 teeth, left the rear at 45.
