    Found my neck tube, in my kit Thank you to Debasser for giving me the one he won ( I will replace when I see you next year.) I got home warm and didnt have to leave Doug waiting till I ransacked my sh1t3 looking for mine.

    You did very nicely with the top end power and improved torque curve. I gained an extra 9ft/lbs, again with a much improved torque curve. The power curve is much improved again with an additional 11bhp

    Ok so 1800ish miles later me bike ain't looking so clean so today's chore was rectifying that! Exhaust came off as did front mudguard and trim. Brakes were taken off and cleaned, front were fine funnily enough the rears are in bad condition. Chain was given a good scrubbin, gouged out the crud around the front sprocket. Here's a handy tip, get a wooden kebab stick and scrape out all the NYC above and around the oil filter

    You'd be surprised at how much comes out

    Anyways 7 hrs down the line I have changed this:

    To this

    I am bloody knackered now, more so than after all that riding we did the last few days, but worth it!!

    Fitted a baffle (stopped headaches after 30 mins riding!), had remap done at Triumph Woburn, fitted carbon front guard which I bought for my yellow Daytona a few years ago - looks lot better on the new version :). And explored some country roads.
