Worked on getting the GSXR carbs to fit the Maxim X - shortened some of the bits.

Finally got around to finishing valve clearances (parts arrived quickly as usual - thanks chacal, but had no time).
Refit the front fairing with fabricated mounts & reassembled all bodywork. Then a quick fang to test everything.
All good but rear brakes need work - maybe next weekend. Then finally I can get it registered.
Can't wait for that long ride.......ah dreams!!

got the parts I needed to get the screamin eagle exhaust installed. Got the mirror for it and ordered turn signals. At the same time I fell behind on my college work, so I'll be spending the next two days I have off catching up and working on the bike will have to wait until next week.

I have new bike syndrome. You know the symptoms, you're new to the bike and every odd rattle and sound convinces you that the motor is about to explode into a shoebox full of shrapnel. So the Yamaha engineered rattle/clank generator that they had thoughtfully placed right in front of my face below the clocks HAD to be modified or I was going to lose my sanity!
So I made a damper that fits snugly inside the plastic shell that surrounds the ignition barrel out of closed cell foam packaging with a craft knife. I would show you, but I can't seem to put pictures onto my posts
