Testastretta Tinkering

Hi Darren, I'm liking the changes you've made, the carbon rad covers look great, the clutch pressure plate was a horrible shade of pastel pink when I got the bike so I rattle can painted it rosso red, the clutch lever trunion (what a fabulous word) is adjustable, I fabricated one & fitted a locknut to it so as to allow further adjustment, the factory racing slave was great, much lighter action but it didn't have the same 'feel' as the standard one & I just wasn't happy with it, regarding the clutch case itself, a mate of mine has a milling machine so he cut the windows in it for me (I copied it from one of Yorkies projects) and I think it looks mint, all in all I'm made up with how you are looking after the bike but you really need to be riding it pal, that testasretta engine is an absolute gem and the BT016 tyres are awesome, have fun mate, that's what monsters are all about.
Adios amigo
