The fairings are from JHS in Bristol.

I wouldnt get away with mine as they are, the bars barely move when I have levers fitted etc. doubt I'ld get through scrutineering as is. The stock clip ons should bring them up around 1.5 to 2 inches from where they are now so I should be fine.

To be fair they did tell me that the fairings were designed to fit standard bars, screen, mountings etc.

Wasnt too difficult to fit either.

Anyway, if the supplier pointed the bars thing out, they can't be blamed/moaned at!

Yeah, I was hoping to use them. luckily I didnt spend a furtune on Harris clip-ons or similar or I would have been gutted.

Cool, I see the 208s are on it

I was gonna comment on the front master cylinder, but then I remembered it was originally an SV-N!!

p.s. I think it is within the regs to ditch that chain guard ... so you might as well

Yeah, I have a sneaky feeling that I'll be needing 208's this weekend. Whats the difference with the master cylinder? is it a different design on the S?

Where was its first outing to be again? You were doing a practice day, then straight into raceday weren't you? Good luck and make sure you get pics and report back!!

The SVS has a separate reservoir on the master cylinder, not an integrated one like I presume must be fitted on the SV-N (due to bars), either way, I doubt it makes any performance difference, just something I noticed when looking at it!

First meeting is at Anglesey. Test day tomorrow and race day Sunday.

Weather forecast is for cloudy and dry, then light rain and about 7 deg Celsius. Pretty typical for Anglesey. First session at least though will be bedding in and getting used to the new bike.

Hey that was my first ever attemp at paint spraying too so pretty chuffed.

Looks good mate. I prepped my own bike and it really gives you a nice satisfying feeling doesnt it. Especially after my first race weekend and the bike performed faultlesley!
