Monster Ready for Battle

This afternoon I head up to Oulton Park for the first round of the Desmo Due Championship (the original first round from 5 weeks ago was abandoned because of weather). The Wee Monster is all prepped and ready her first outing - looking forward to seeing how she fares after all the winter improvements.

 

New ally swing-arm, brake master cylinder and lightweight disc... 

...carbon mudguard robbed off my road Monster, lightweight disks and new sooper-dooper race pads... 

 ...custom lightweight belly-pan...

 



 ...ECU flashed - ditched the old clocks and ignition key...

 



...massive thanks to Mike at MD Racing for the sponsorship and engine work... 

... my first bit of carbon lay-up... ignition switch has built-in neutral light... 

...lookin' mean and hungry...

...some old nose-art stickerage from a few years back...

... cables and springs are too heavy... some elastic bands from the postman will do...

...single exhaust saves at least 2kg...

...ready to rumble!
