New to me Ulysses

[34nineteen]

So, I was degreasing my wheels, as the duct tape covering the wheel weights (mandatory for track use) will never stick with that much grime. They're a bit lighter than I remember and already have a set of Pirelli Rosso 3 tires mounted up. They look at bit different too. Instead of the Enkei logo, I see the CastAlloy logo. Then I see it.

RACE USE ONLY.

Oh mama!!!!

NOT FAIR!

...still trying to find a serviceable set...

It's coming together.





I still have a ways to go...

I need to find a GSXR or other 19mm master cylinder to work with the ZTL2 and custom hose.

I am waiting for my Lightning/Firebolt shock to arrive to see if it will lower the rear of the bike a little.

Once that is sorted, I will lower the front to a little bit lower than the rear. Right now the travel is at 4.9 F+R. Stock R/S is 4.7. I'm thinking 4.5F + 4.7R. I know wheel travel isn't the best way to do this, but its the only metric I have to work with at this time... and I'm just spitballing it.

I have a new brake hose for the rear on the way (stock Ss).

Once I get the shock mounted, I need to mount the reservoir.

I need to mount the rear master reservoir. Or do the racer-boi clear hose trick.

I need to figure out a rear battery setup. I will need to go lithium as I need some more room under the seat to mount the ECM properly.

The front fairing and containment pan should arrive in mid-late March.


Then I am heading to Maine, to race Kurlon and crash into each other on our first lap. Unless Bubbles runs me over on her Ninja 400 first!

I'll have my protest forms pre-filled out and ready.

And a case of Moxie, and there had better be a trip out to dinner that evening.

Hell yeah!

BTW, the shock showed up this weekend.
