That means you have yourself a Sprint Pro Race Steering damper there and they are a cool £200 plus fitting kit! Thats bound to make the bike steer safer in the direction you may or may not want to be going in!

I didn't remove the rear pod but the tail units you can be pretty brutal with and they take it. Take the cover off underneath and look for hidden fixings.

Nice damper to control the massive steering lock

Cover off and all fixings were removed, I guess I just need to be more brutal!

Come out for a race as pit crew then Stu, combine it with a trip to the Ardennes/Eifel/Nurburgring, and you'd have a great trip

This evening I primered the tank scuff, glassed in the small hole in the belly pan and bought some black paint for touching up tank and belly pan. Also got some filler and finally found a socket thin enough for the XR600 spark plug, which I switched over. Tomorrows jobs are a bit of filling of belly pan and tank, and chucking in the XR 600R engine (different bike, but might as well while the paint is drying!).

Also measured up the exhaust for a new can.

Life in the garage is good.

Tim, It might just need repacking.

Carl, the No Budget Cup runs super low noise levels at Zolder, so it would need a good repack, baffle fitting etc, so I'm going for a can that is designed to be quietish from the outset.

No problem. A decibel killer is about 9 quid on ebay that would bolt into that one though. Save a bit of expense.

The events Tim has entered in for this competition have now been entered in the Race Calendar. If any of you can get to one of the events I am sure Tim will do his best to win it for you. Good luck Tim.
