    Ok so got round to the garage and managed to tidy up a few loose ends on the bike, like cable tie any wiring into a more neat fashion and get the tail unit fitted up to the bike.

    Decided to take the bike outside once the fairings were on for a few sneaky pics before wheeling it back into the garage.

    Only thing to do really is to swap over my gold wheels from my road bike as I'll be using the M7RR tyres from that for my first bimble round Donny on the 24th, and either fit an Autotune kit for the Woolich Racing fueling or take it to the Dyno on the way down to Donny.

    Not so sure on the McPint screen though have to admit. Can see that getting ditched.

    Yup. A week on Thursday coming.
    Got it together just in time to be able to double check everything over and not be too rushed.

    Id keep the mcguiness screen on btw.

    Nothing worse than rushing night before. I do it all the time lol. Done a gearbox night before once, think it was Cadwell.

    Tried to service mine today but I forgot the oil filter at home doh:D

    Yea think you'd be better taking that with you next time mate :)

    Don't get me wrong the screen will do its job, just not used to something that big.

    Think I'd better say a few thanks to the lads that have helped me out on this bike build.

    Thanks again to @ShinySideUp for all the help in getting the bike together when I needed either an extra hand or just for a chin wag when needed.

    Also need to thank @Daznorthwest for supplying me with more than a few of the parts that have been bolted into the bike. Cheers mate ;)

    Great bike Colin, did you get the bike on a Dyno in the end?

    Or how did the Woolich racing map perform?

    Hi Paul

    Never managed to get the bike on the Dyno in time before heading to Donnington.

    The bike performed faultlessly though and have to say that it is definitely a fast bike. Bottom end is still packed full of torque and the top end is in an other league to my road bike, popping up on the front wheel in 4th with little effort.

    Colin your bike looks far to clean and unscratched, you need to get out on track and crash it a few times and if your not willing to crash it your not pushing anywhere near hard enough;)

    Btw i agree with that screen not being right mate, looks like a giant bell and foreskin:oops:

    Just trying to find time to get on track at the moment is the biggest issue at the moment.

    First 1 at Donny was purely to see how the bike faired after all the tinkering and engine change. Happy to say it was faultless.

    I'll be pushing on from here on in
