Chipping Away

As I wait for new rings to arrive for the Wee Monster, I've been chipping away at other bits n pieces. 

This is the original exhaust with a left-side chop. The economy model.

Got a nice 2 into 1 conversion pipe from Kevin Ellis (the Godfather of Desmo Due)...

added my own link pipe, an old can from my flattrackers' original exhaust (Titanuim too!) and made up a hangar...

Badda-bing!

A few 100 grams weight saving... but hoping she'll breathe better. Damn looks cooler and I won't get anymore questions and snide remarks in skrootineering about the old blanked off system.

The clutch cover was worn pretty thin from sliding down the track many times. One more and it would have been holed. Check out the epoxy/ally crash protection on the underside of the clutch cover. R&G - kiss my ass.

Next up, the tank-clip/bracket. The original clip works on a road bike... but not so well when you park it in the gravel. Besides... new rules this year means no more tank clips. Found a bit of old tread-plate ally...

made a template out of an old baking tray in the garbage (Eeeeeuw!)

measure twice and cut once...

a bit of finishing, a few holes...

been busy with a lot of bracketry and stuff...

down to the painters for a rattle-can finish

Done. Race legal and neato.

Update on the BIG performance mod tomorrow...
