dupersunc Posted July 13, 2016 Author Posted July 13, 2016 Sorry about the lack of updates. Let things slip for a while on this. Been cracking on with all the little jobs. Binned the hydraulic clutch, and fitted a bandit 600 cable set-up, made battery box and mounted that along with the other electrical hardware. I've modded the road style fairing lowers with the catch tray from a set of crashed GSXR1000 K8 race fairings, which has worked out really well, that's being painted now. The biggest hold-up has been the wiring and igniton. There was a cock-up with Ignitiech with Payment, but that was sorted last week, and the kit arrived this morning. First impressions are good. Loads of extra functionality, easy to use software, and he quality looks good. Entry is in for thunderbike xtreme at Cadwell at the end of the month, Shake down in 2weeks at a local airfield. Quote

dupersunc Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 T minus 7 days to Cadwell Park. Spent the day making a wiring loom. 80% done, but enough to power up the Ignitech, and check it all works. Carb rebuild, and sus out the crank sensor configuration, and I should get a tune out of it tomorrow. Quote

I guess I've got to beat 1.41s on this. In other news It's ALIVE! Fired up after having to source some 38mm carb rubbers in a panic. Just ridden it round the yard for the first time. 6 Quote
jonny1bump Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Riding in the 1 40s will certainly be achievement on the slabby. Quote
dupersunc Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 In all seriousness the 1.41's you're doing is bloody quick. If I can get Below 45's I'll be happy and running top 6 in the class. Though I've got a bet on with a mate as to which of us will get in the 42's first..... Quote

dupersunc Posted July 27, 2016 Author Posted July 27, 2016 A Man needs a deadline...... Shake down complete. nothing fell off. Bit of a snagging list to go through tomorrow and a spanner check and we're good to go. 1 Quote
MeanBean49 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Might pop up and have a watch on sat. Interesting to see how it goes. Reckon the fast boys be running well under 1.40's this year if its dry. Be impressive to see if you can get slabby under 1.45 1st time out 1 Quote
dupersunc Posted July 30, 2016 Author Posted July 30, 2016 Quickshifyer caused a massive miss fire in qualifying. Would only pull 87mph flat out on the straight. Amazingly I'm not last. Work to do in the race though. Quote
banditman Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 how much does it weigh? is it a lightweight? looking good Quote

Good thanks, few teething troubles, and a list of improvements to make, but over all very happy with the bike. Got the mountain horrendously wrong in race 2, and had to retire as I broke the seat unit mountings on landing. Fixed it for race 3, finished 4th in class, running consistent 1.46s, with a best of 1.45.7 So happy with that. Need to find 2 seconds to get on the podium, which I think I can find. The pace has moved on from last years times though. 7 Quote
MeanBean49 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Good effort mate. Fair way to go to get into the non rookie top 10. Be interesting following your progress 1 Quote
dupersunc Posted August 1, 2016 Author Posted August 1, 2016 Oh I was beaten to the podium in the last race by Tri**ph, sponsored by @banoffee of all people. It's an outrage I tell you. 3 Quote
