    Hey BB, as far as catch cans go, just run all the breathers into o 600ml soft drink bottle and zip tye it in place at the base of your shock.

    You'll need to drill and tie wire your radiator cap, sump plug, and oil fill plug. ( we can help you out with all that if you like, it's only about 10mins of work )

    For road racing you will need to run a full set of leathers, gloves, motorcycle boots ( dirtbike boots are ok ) and a spine protector. ( there are a few around with spare leathers and spine protectors so i'm sure we can organise that )

    You'll need to join the club ( $30.00 per yr, pay at the meeting you ride at)


    And if it's your first time ou there you'll have to wear a white shirt over you leathers which just lets the rest of us know not to give you a hard time out on the track..

    We should be able to get you out there at whatever meeting you like with minimal effort.

    Shocking ..... 1.7-1.8 Stage 2 orient express turbo kit gives it the extra mumbo to pull really hard by the deep end but very difficult to launch at standard length and height. Found myself short shifting otherwise it wheelstands everytime you change gear and you travel most of the track with the front wheel in the air.

    Jeez its hard to wipe the smile off my face but.

    Make sure your swingarm angle is right and that the chain pull moment isnt working WITH your suspension. Get this right and the first 60 will be heaps cleaner. Once the rear axle goes up past the sprocket/ swingarm pivot line the chain 'pulls' the suspension up, reducing grip and causing all sorts of wheely type fun

    Thanks maestro, something i never considered. I do still have the zx12 and only intend on running the busa down the strip when i cant run the kwaka which im still playing with current pb 9.50 a few 9.51 including one at last weekends benaraby all-bike drags with a 1.32 60' not bad with a stock engine still.

    Ronnie said exactly the same thing Errol, i just dont trust the big K's alloy frames anymore.
