Another quick thrash yesterday by Vince. Thanks buddy. We were flushing the brake system Saturday night and the booster took a crap. Vinced advised going to manual. I was on the fence but finally said f it, go for it. Went by after work yesterday to bring another bottle of Motul and top the resevoir off. Once topped off it was brake check time. After a couple quick thrashes we readjusted the prop valve. went for another brake check and as soon as I jumped on the throttle the seat slid back. Noticed one of the sliders had cracked so we welded the seat to the base.
On top of that we got a set of R6's and was able to squeeze a 295 up front by stretching the front fenders a bit more with the help of a baseball bat.
I'm almost afraid to say it but I think she's ready for this Saturdays Time Trial event with NASA.
