Looks nice and welcome.

If your going to cadwell. Get some cheap plastics as good fairings are like rocking horse sh*t.

Thanks for the comments. I'll be getting full trackday stuff. Can anyone recommend ones that fit without too much dremmeling. The last one I bought for my gixxer, looked like it was made by Mr Magoo.

Thanks for the advice, the end cans are from ebay. They were $82 Aus, so I saved £100 on tyga or others advertised. The quality is good and they bolted straight on. The link is below:

Thanks, yes well pleased. I didn't realise the ones I'd seen would be so variable. There doesn't seem to be any uniform value. Just what someone is willing to pay.

I know it sounds corny but it's great to be able to share views and valuable info on a forum like this. I've been rebuilding two strokes for thirty years (Vespa's- yes I know, even raced scooters for a few seasons) but fickle twin rice burners takes it to a different level.

you shouldnt have much bother if you keep everything right, I would also put the oil pump up slightly or just run PreMix. Definitely dont jet down.

Keep the fuel tank fairly full at the track, avoid starvation. Maybe have a spare chain if the current one is old.

Have fun :D
