A log of work preparing for the salt next year.
Currently the bike is filthy, on a center stand, and not quite fully assembled.
My list of work (in no particular order) to prep for a number over 176.6mph:
- 17" Rear Wheel needs to be ordered
- Caliper Rebuild or switch to Hel Calipers
- Suspension rebuild to refresh fluids/seals
- Fresh tune on first 100f+ day
- Reinstall all tins
- Stability check 180mph+
- Powder coat extra front wheel
- Valve Clearance check/inspection
- Bottom end inspection
- Transmission inspection
- Fire proof sleeves on fuel lines
- Fall lanyard cutoff switch
- Safety wire all the things
- Lower the bike as far as possible
- Cut stock seat to lower rider into "bubble"
- Add 2nd Steering Damper on left side
- Find optimal Pirelli Slick for 200+ rating on salt
I anticipate first check ride will be in early October to verify health of all other systems; ECU, Injectors, etc. Then the work really starts!
