Looks good!


As a little insider hint: lower the fluid level in your brake reservoir to about 1/2 full (no lower than the minimum fill line though). This allows the expanding fluid a place to go when it gets hot from alot of braking, common mistake by many racers (at all levels) is to have the reservoir full. Don't feel bad if you didn't already know that, I didn't either until 2005 (and I started racing in 1996)!

That sounds like a really good deal!

Your avatar looks like VIR. If so, hopefully we'll meet up on the track some time.

Awesome that it all worked out for you Will, I figured you would be able to make it happen!

So was it all that you expected? What did you ride (I know it was a Suzuki smarty pants! )? Realize some stuff you were doing wrong all this time on the street?



EDIT:

I just saw your other topic, glad you had a good time!
