Still weighing up my options for what to do over the winter and with gen2 systems being easy to come by, a 2-2 conversion is a possibility. I know the flanges need swapped and that's fine as I know a very talented welder who can sort that but does the belly pan need cut on the left side to accommodate the link pipe?

Oops...Sorry teacher. I'll stop passing notes round the back of the class and start paying attention. Just please don't give me another detention.
The above is a lie. I'm not going to hack at my fairings. Stick with my single. Cheers for the link though. Interesting stuff.

Nice neat looking job. I'm just being awkward. Don't want to cut as I like to be able to put my bikes back to how they left the factory if the notion takes me. Don't know why to be honest. I never have but cutting fairings is a step too far for me.

or buy half a bellypan that matches your paint and do that ?

It's an option. Maybe at a later date I'll respray the whole bike to lose the stone chips and get a 2nd belly pan for that. Don't think I've ever seen any yellow 03 fairings for sale. When I changed to the 02 tail I had to buy black and paint it. Toyed with the idea of going with Rossi's 99 Mugello 250 colourscheme but a mixture of would it work on a Mille and lack of balls calmed me down. Ha ha

Yep. That one! I reckon it would look fantastic but I don't know I could fire the best part of 2 grand to find out. Funny race that too. Rossi won and then ran over the photographer Gigi Soldano on the cool down lap. Ha ha

You could always go for a vinyl wrap, a hell of a lot cheaper, try 01 Race FX, http://www.01racefx.com/ they do a lot of race bikes so something as complex as that wouldn't be too difficult or expensive.

I had thought of vinyl wrap. Doc John, the race doc at all the real roads events has his bikes done by 01. Very impressive but can they wrap my balls to make them bigger? I may do it one day but I think this year will be all about the mechanicals. I take it you're not a fan Mark?

He always reckoned he never gelled with the RC8 which is why he's now on a ZX10.

as for the mechanicals mine is long overdue to be spoilt so its all guns blazing this winter.
rebuilt forks are here
new engine will be here next week ,already have the 57's and open airbox to fit ... just need to get the exhaust bits made and we are away ..or will be if i can find someone nice enough to loan a garage or workshop space.

ART or Cube perhaps? What I really need is a Melandri rep RSV4 because then I could legitimately put my face on the side. Ha ha.
You'd be more than welcome at my garage. Heated, kettle, toaster, leather sofa, on suite horse but there is the small issue of the Irish Sea. Overcome that one and I'll have the kettle boiled. I'm not getting quite as involved as you this year. Just new bearings all over the place, the big service and a nicer pipe really. Is anyone getting as imvolved as you are?!?!?! |

This was an exhaust thread?!?!?! I thought it was my own personal chat to Mark section.
Old school is better. Modern race schemes are a bit uninspiring. Any clues? Old AF1 colours? MS Aprilia? Lisburn is just up the road from me. Why the hell are you not crashing at her place every year for the Ulster GP? Some fantastic biking roads around Lisburn. Been after one of the bigger scale Minichamps versions of that bike but prices are a bit high for shelf tat. |

Sigh...fiiiiine! My vote (not that you are taking suggestions) is the yellow Corser scheme from whatever year it was at the Euro round of WSBK. Well worth coming over for the UGP. Especially as you'd be so close to it and no idiot husband. Ha ha. I mean, well worth coming over for the dual exhaust conversions. There...nobody will be any the wiser. |

Does this even count as a thread hijack when there is a much better dual can thread? One with pictures and progress
