fuelline Posted June 12, 2020 Author Posted June 12, 2020 Thought I'd better update. Found an R6 race seat unit with a bit of jiggery pokery and a piece of chunky square bar ally to get the seat height right. Came with an almost new Moto Valter seat foam. K6 headers and mid pipe from a local'ish wreckers for a 175 bucks. That and removing the fan. Has saved a whopping 15kg. Pretty fucking stoked with that. Now weighing in at 180kg with half a tank of fuel. 5 Quote
vizman Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Another fine display of form and function working out. Quote
fuelline Posted June 16, 2020 Author Posted June 16, 2020 Removed all the mid pipe valve and extraneous stuff during the week. Two track days booked. Quote
fuelline Posted July 11, 2020 Author Posted July 11, 2020 Yay! Which issue is this Steve? Just looked at Readly and couldn't find it? Quote

fuelline Posted July 12, 2020 Author Posted July 12, 2020 Thanks mate. Not out here nor Readly just yet. Quote
fuelline Posted July 12, 2020 Author Posted July 12, 2020 As an update I've bought an Airtech 'slammed' drag tank and Pingle fuel tap. Should save 3-4 kilos. Probably take another couple of months to arrive. 1 Quote
fuelline Posted September 12, 2020 Author Posted September 12, 2020 The tank and valve arrived after a considerable wait along with some genuine FCR velocity stacks from an seller FCR on Eblag. Bit of fucking about with fuel pissing out of air vents and we were good. Not convinced that issue is resolved as I drained the tank for painting. I'll stick a litre in tomorrow and take it round the block and see. 5 Quote
fuelline Posted September 14, 2020 Author Posted September 14, 2020 Good news. No fuel pissing out of air vents. I'll take that as a win. 2 Quote
fuelline Posted October 12, 2021 Author Posted October 12, 2021 I haven't updated this for a while. Quote
fuelline Posted October 13, 2021 Author Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) We've been in LD here for months. So the opportunity came up to get a bit of engine work and wiring tidying. A great mate of mine George on here. Has ported and polished the head to an exceptional degree. While that was happening I sent off a spare inlet cam for Waggots Cams to regrind to Yoshimura Stage One spec. George also took care of the loom removing all the extraneous road stuff. And taking off the alternator and knocking up a blanking plate. Ignition barrel removed. I think this should be just over another 4kg lost. This picture also shows how simple that loom is now. Spring tab welded onto the link pipe cleans up a mess of spring and clamps I had there previously. Pretty excited about getting out on it on Sunday TD booked, along with the other one. .....a slightly newer water cooled GSXR. Edited October 15, 2021 by fuelline 6 Quote

Madb Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Any chance of comparing how it feels with the new tank? Quote

The bike feels certainly lower and it's an easier reach to the bars. It has a drastically lowered capacity but still enough for a 20 minute session on track. However in heavy braking areas into 40mph hairpins etc I am missing somewhere to really lock my legs into. Obviously this tank is'nt at all designed to cope with those stresses it's more a drag tank and indeed those forces being completely opposite. I like it though it's obviously lighter than stock and looks trick. 1 Quote

fuelline Posted October 19, 2021 Author Posted October 19, 2021 Seriously they look amazing it's a shame to torque them down in a motor and not admire them. 1 Quote
