Pre Track Day Photos

Here are some photos (as promised) of the bikes on the trailer the day before the track day, along with some details on the repairs/upgrades done to the Red Squid.

Red Squid and my friend's ZX6R loaded up and ready to go (day before)

Woodcraft clutch cover I installed (track bike parts should focus on one thing: performance. Installing a thin, stylish clutch cover won't provide much protection. Go for something stronger and more practical that will still let air in: Woodcraft's clutch cover is not only sturdy, but also offers a replaceable skid pad).

Don't let your wiring hang out all over the place. Try to clean it up and keep it from getting pinched or shorting. Zip-ties are typically the best solution: you can cut them off and replace them, without the nasty glue residue you get from tape.

Bar ends can weight your handle bars, providing an alternative feel to steering (at lower speeds), but for the most part, they provide added protection against low-sides -namely saving critical components like the throttle and levers (not 100% effective, but far superior to not having them).

The Koso gauges are awesome, but I found the speedometer sensor to be a slight pain in the ass. Mounting the sensor properly so that it is VERY close to the magnets and is at the proper angle is KEY.

The "shiny" side.
