Enlisting Mufasa for Salt Duty

Rear end fully assembled and ready to bed the brakes in.

2004 Daytona 600 rotor, turns out it's 5mm larger than stock, so technically 0.5mm short of a perfect match to rear pads. As they wear, a tiny lip may develop, but I doubt it. HH pads so they wear slower anyways, new pads in hand for change if required on the salt.

Not much changed visually today, but I finished assembling gauges, waiting on final mounting system to hard mount the GPS/PC-Gauge.

Pulled the Daytona's rearsets to mockup fit. May or may not happen, undecided, they do bring the feet back, but the ass to foot distance is crazy small.

Went through a ton of fasteners and removed them, added some blue locker, and retourqed them. New brake banjos and washers, then bled the brakes.

Basically a safety day.

Off to a Bday party, so that ends today's work.

Still to go (some after test riding and some at boneville):
- Fab new PX600 backplate and offset to tuck it closer to the bike.
- Hard mount PC screen/GPS speedo.
- Install metal battery hold down.
- Mount new front tire.
- Front brake delete.

I sure hope that something is there to keep someone from dropping a nut in the throttle bodys
My experience is that there is always someone that will mess with your vehicle
Like removing the dipstick or pulling a plug wire or just wanting a part to take home.
 

The open TBs only exist in my garage/driveway during maintenance. Anytime the bike is out and about filters are fitted.

The PX600 rework will tuck it tighter in so it doesn't foul then left knee as much, if at all. Once that's done the filter will be screwed and safety wired in place.

Small high value items will be removed daily ofc.

I'll be sure to post when done with it.

Weather for the event is looking ideal. A bit of rain on the 2nd, then high 80s. Fingers crossed it stays like this.


VP has posted their list of approved Gasoline they're bringing.

MS100 is on the list as an approved "Gas" class fuel, so, a little 3% oxygenated bump to help make up for elevation will be welcome.

SCTA has drug the course and painted centerlines. Rating salt at 8/10 so far, from their report it's grown thicker and looks pretty good.

With all the changes you've made, the additions and subtractions, the bike looks clean and super strong. Wishing you all the best results you expect. Proud day regardless.
