Just got back from RJS Superbikes. Had suspension set up and a quick power run up on the dyno. The bike feels loads better and not 'skittish' anymore on twisty bits. Seems to put the power down better too. I don't know if that's psychological or if it's because of some suspension....stuff. Anyway, here's my dyno print out:

The lines look pretty good, no obvious flat spots and a decent looking kick from 7,500 rpm.

Yep. I'm happy with the bike. More so now the suzzies have been tweaked. Very tempted by a K-Tech cartridge kit for the forks as the rear shock out performs the front by miles.

The guy who dyno'd it commented on the same. All I have is Arrow cans and the relevant triumph map.

Ah crap. That's not good.

Kwak have a nasty habit of not using grease when they put a bike together.

$10 a bolt!!!!!! Don't forget you need 'white grease' or something for those....and don't torque them or they will twist and snap off, causing death and dismemberment....twice.

I still want one of those titanium coffee cups.....I had one, but can't seem to find it??
