Progress on the chain alignment yesterday, some extra lock washers were modified to become spacers and all good, clearance a little tight with the 180/60 Pirelli Supercorsa rear so I might need to change that for a 180/55 later on..
Apparently, the profile means it sits differently and therefore a little narrower (as well as less tall)
It appears the 170 is no longer available (in the race tyres I use) The chain was fitted by Jason Griffiths yesterday and he knows about tyres (Pirelli UK race manager) He was confident a 180/55 would give a little more clearance
I know! I wouldn't have thought that either Right off to the garage to get a horn working to get through the vehicle test (IOM version of MOT) Will be daytime use only but that suits me!
The Brembo Front Brake master cylinder takes up quite a bit of handlebar space so, this required the stop/start switchgear to be moved to the L/H handlebar. At the same time I installed a 1098 radial clutch master cylinder
So, after a few niggles including warped discs the bike passed the Manx vehicle test and I have been out riding throughout the MGP / Classic TT. Even won an award at the Italian bike night which is nice! Over the winter I will sort out a few minor issues and perhaps have a go at making an airbox although the bike runs great on the pod filters So for now a few finished pictures..
