any update on the air intake availability?

Not just yet unfortunately.  Still have another set of stacks to test :)

Sounds like you are getting dangerously close to a spot on set up and a serious twins cup threat.

We'll see.  I did feel pretty good on Sunday, when track conditions were better.

Still have some development to go with the electronics as far as traction control and launch control since we never used it, and I also have a new set of velocity stacks to try, in addition to changing tires from Pirelli to Dunlop.

When I get some downtime with the bike, I also need to fashion a steering damper mount, as there were some areas at Chuckwalla it could have helped with the crazy wind :)

@mossrider do you have any data from when you went to Chuck?  Lap times or gearing?

I don't have any relevant data since that was my first day out of the barn on that bike back then. I know my gearing, 16/44, was too tall.

Give me a call on the tires.

Oh that's right, I forgot it was your first time out there to shake down the bike.

I was running 16/45 and seemed pretty good...

I'll pick your brain soon on the Dunnies...

Look into mounting the steering damper like shown in the picture.  Some say directing the damped forces closer to the center of mass is more effective and stable than the traditional setups.  Take a look at the latest wsbk and gp bikes, many mount the dampers like pictured.  Just something to think about.  You will need a longer stroked damper, but that is not an issue unless you have one already.

Thanks!  I'll definitely take a look, but the packaging is pretty tight in that area :)

I would love to see these pics.  I can only see the thumbnails here.  Are they on your FB page?  If so, what is your FB address?

Thanks for the link.  Some excellent pics there.  You really weren't kidding about the blowing sand--holy dust storm. 😮

Damn, that's pretty.

Hard to believe it's an FZ07.

Looks good, but belongs in it's own thread, not this one :)

I think it was meant as a compliment.... You have a VERY nice looking FZ-07R 😎

Thank you for the compliment. It was a work in progress but like an artist canvas it is finished. Looking forward to a fun year of racing.  Several weeks ago i raced at Roebling Road and had a very good start to the year. I race in several sancting bodies. Those other boyz are on big bad Ducatis

I guess it's how you worded it.  Forgive me, but I took this thread as an introduction to your bike (which looks awesome btw).  But usually when a forum member introduces their build or newly finished project, they start their own original thread for it, not place it in someone else build thread :)

Looks awesome though and love the classic look!

No biggie, it DOES look very nice!  Reminds me of the first one done by AP MotoArts.
