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

Looks very nice

Are you are going to take the bodywork off before you go to Cadwell? you will find it almost impossible to find replacements like that if you damage it
Welcome

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
nice bike
