This thing's awesome :D Good work mate, don't go spearing off into anything now!
Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

yeah it's going good. saving up to do some mods on it myself though nothing as radical as yours.

Fuck me drunk. I had a bit of a blast on this today and I'm still giggling.
Very very tractable and easy to ride. Stands up in the first three gears but not as bad for me as it is for Shifty (given that I am twice the man he is :D)
Roll the throttle in and try and hang onto it as it turns the scenery into a fucking blur. Click the next gear and the cun't back on boost and it's screaming it's head off again. I reckon it does 100- 200 in about three seconds. Fuck knows what fourth gear is like :D
Pretty much the most mental thing I have ever ridden. Makes the gixxer thou/ blackbirds I have ridden seem very tame (and that is saying something!)
The delivery is seamless but quite silly. It comes on very hard but not silly hard. If anything I reckon it might be faster/ more insane if the delivery was a bit less linear. Maybe cams or some more boost up top would turn it impossibly mental. It would be hard to genuinely say it needs more power though :D
Gave it a good wash today, looks much better. Could use another wash as it has been a while between drinks, so a few bits need extra scrubbing and I also missed a couple of bits here and there... but it looks 200 times better.
Also put the gauge cups back on, and fitted up the front guard. Having had it with the front guard for so long it looks a bit funny but I'll get used to it I'm sure. If not I'll look at getting a smaller one or something so it looks a little more minimalist.
Had a pillion on it for the first time today, scraped like a mofo with the extra 60kg on it when I hooked around a corner. Will have to fit those shock risers I was looking at a while back!

All in all- fucking unreal. Cheers shifty.
I've ridden it with full boost and I agree. It's nuts.
(and I chickened out at about 7.5k rpm in 2nd and 3rd)
Not wrong! Once you look for a bit you notice the braided lines, six-pots, turbocharger, hehe.
I want to convert it back to standard mirrors as well, wil do that in the next few weeks - I have a set tee'd up, just need to get them.
Also my chain seems to have stretched like a bee-atch, skipping teeth under hard load! I'll check it out and as long as the sprockets are good I'll just re-adjust it as she'll be apples.
