New road legal can with baffle, appropriate diameter, spring attachment and length to keep it quiet has been ordered, plus packing for existing can whilst I'm at it. With the limited time if repacking wassn't successful it'd be hard to get a can in time.

That's from A16 Road and race, guy seemed very helpful.

Awesome Tim! Is this Carls old bike then?

I would love to get over to spanner/hold the pit board but alas it looks a slim chance. Certainly not the early round.

Word to the wise - don't buy their fairings cos they rarely fit (so I found out from other CBR owners after I'd splashed out 160 quid). I have a CBR600 FW one sitting in my shed that wouldn't fit my bike in a month of Sundays, however the BB Plastics one I bought for the same money went straight on with no hassles at all.

Yep it is, via the ownership of Yorkie Chris!

No long notice required for pit help, we're allowed a pit crew of up to 4 on top of drivers, I think we'll be struggling for any!

Riders! I think the paint and fibreglass fumes had gone to my head last night.

Hope you enjoy, you doing what I worked out I can not afford to... and putting that bike on the road would have a) been a shame and b) led to my imminent and messy death.


To remove the tailpod it's just those 2 screws then it lifts off the back. Hold your breath when you do it as it feels like it's about to crack... but it will move.

Thanks for the tip, found the sprockets with the carbs like you said, just given the tank scuff its top coat, not pretty I'd imagine when the masking tape comes off but at least it'll all be black.

This bike was never meant to go back on the road

Tank scuff quick repair:








The blind amongst you may not be able to spot the repair. The visually able may spot the shiney dark black glaring out from the lighter faded mattish black!
