I really want to, see how it goes and if I can swing getting it tuned. Still might go try it with just it re-geared/lowered without spray and see how it goes if things don't go as smoothly as I hope the next two weeks. Gotta figure out a way to get it out there haha




Installed my lowering links last night, install was a lot easier than I though. I ended up using a car lift to raise/lower the tail which made it super easy. An engine hoist would've worked too but that was outside in the cold/snow haha. Lowering links weren't too extreme, just an inch and half or so.

Was going raise my forks in the tripple tree too but my stock steering dampner wouldn't work anymore. Might just try riding it around how it is for a while and see how it feels for daily riding. For the track it'll be strapped hard anyways so I think I'll be set at the track.



Also started installing my adjustable kickstand but didn't seem to line up how I wanted it to. Going to try looking at it again tonight after work and see if I can get it to work better, might have to drill a new hole to mount it as it currently hits my shifter on down shifts.


^This is also my plan on how to wire up the nitrous so I have it all in one place. Really want to wire in the LED so I know that I'm spraying and the map switched but might be further down the road as I really just want to go to the track.
