  1. @Expat Jack did you have to put a resistor in the wire mate??
     
  2. Yes mate. If not you get the EML (FI) light on.

  3. I have a plug and play eliminator for changing a damper if anyone wants it?

    I don’t need it as I removed the damper from the ECU when I got it flashed

  4. An early Christmas present for the 750 arrived yesterday. Fitted this morning. On the 750 you have to delete the rear brake reservoir to fit a KTech shock, but that’s a nice little bonus I think. :)
    Ive also junked the quick shifter it came with (HM Super Lite) as according to HM this budget model overheats on track. The new one is a big improvement, much slicker operation. 24C603DA-33EB-4F66-A20F-88FAE6785560.jpeg 3AC989AD-0D08-4DAE-861B-C3BADFF5913A.jpeg

  8. Did you do it yourself or use a body shop? What about the stickers - source etc?
    I have some black CRC track fairings and an old tank to fit so considering options currently.
     
  9. I've a mate with a body shop who painted the fairings, i put the decals on which came from the image works

  10. Nice one, thanks. I’ve used the Image Works on several Ducati projects previously. I’m probably going to go for a wrap as unfortunately I don’t have a mate in the bodyshop trade and I know the design I want (which has several colours making it expensive to do myself). More to come next year :)

  11. Picked up a tank cheap off eBay (just incase I drop the thing :astonished:) and now treating the rusty innards. I used electrickery in a similar issue on my Daytona track bike but it took ages. Hoping this chemical shortcuts the process. If not I can always snort the left over powder. :mask:

  12. I used this stuff on my RGV tank a few years back, worked okay, still got some in the garage spare I think. It did a good enough job, I read some absolute horror stories around petseal and those sorts of products so just went with as much of a clean as I could get
     
  13. It worked well and certainly less fuss than electrolysis. I have a bit left and saved the fluid for reuse. Apparently it’s ok until it turns black.

    Grabbed a new battery today using my Halfords trade card.
