It has been a while but I've made progress on the bike and myself. I still have roughly 17-30lbs (17 minimum, 30 ultimately) to go in weight loss prior to the season start, I'll probably be close by May and then continue on the journey throughout the season. The bike has made better progress:
Kawasaki OEM velocity stacks (shorter) are installed
Factory Pro ignition advance rotor is in.
Remaining modifications for power:
PowerCommander (ordering in a few weeks) and tune (March hopefully).
Then I haven't decided how much I want to invest in suspension as funds are getting tight. The stock suspension last year wasn't a 100% setback, I may get springs on there and do a quick fork rebuild prior to season start.
I just dropped it off at IMS last night to be in the ZeroGravity booth as part of a display representing local race bikes. Those are the attached pictures, feel free to check it out at IMS this weekend.
