Thanks men it gave me some real headaches but got there in the end.
Left a lot out and now cant photo it with clothes on because my camera has self destructed!
It does seem like a whole lot of work for very little advantage but i had 'ramped up' all the available settings on the old setup and now they are cemented as the 'neutral' position under the new regime.
Also being more eddie stobart than eddie lawson i need every advantage i can get out of the bike however small.
In order; i now have to work out 'why do people lean over going round corners'. Figure if i can continue to get away without it. Develop a strategy to look like i am leaning over whilst staying upright. Try to get round corners faster upright than others leaned over. :|

No one would notice.
The unemployed teenager next door and all his ***** mates are round every day smoking vast and i mean vast quantities of wacky backy.
The entire neighbourhood stinks of it. On still days like today the air is green. Today i must have had about an ounce if not more and had to come in in the end when the adults did some for the first time i would guess by the sounds of what they were going on about.
:smk
If anyone wants to get properly smashed just come round and sit in my garden!

I dont mind, about five stops for bacon sandwiches and a whole day seems like an hour.
However a couple of weeks back though we had a sunny day at the weekend, remember?
I went out and Mr. T was layed out under his favourite shrub.
When i came back late in the afternoon i drove up the road and saw him waddling off in the direction of the kebab van.
No mistaking it was him because he has developed a funny walk after that unfortunate incident with the brut 33 and the oven.
Its a bit like the over exaggerated wiggle of models who are paying homage to cats as they earn they're own money at fashion shows.
I hadnt spotted it but his tiny rusty sheriffs badge had got singed in the explosion and i think the touch up with PJ1 aggravated it and it got sore for him.
Anyhow i havnt seen him since so he was either going for a kebab or he now is one. :shock:
Bloody neighbours have a lot to answer for.

:lol: :lol: i think you must be like me Al ,no matter how clever i think i am i cannot avoid these people ,its like i have a tracking device fitted to me .We used to have this couple who lived across the road and they were teachers.He was also a genuine alcoholic ....I found out at 1.00 am in the morning when i was woken by my missus saying someone was bashing the front door in.I quickly grabbed a nice lump of wood i had near by for special people...!!!!!! and went to see what the noise was .I opened the door and the drunk fell in ...... plus his 2 dogs who saw our 2 cats and all hell broke loose ....Then the bastard passed out on my hall floor and pissed himself ..I tried dragging him out but he was dead weight and 16 stone ...arghhhhhh after that episode,i started to think like Macaulay Culkin when those robbers came calling ....lol .like a nice blow torch rigged above the door ..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ollie they are all yet to be locked up!

Bought a new camera.

Before

After

The difference is hardly noticeable but going too far will change the C of G and other parameters which could make it unstable.
Its had a little road test and all seems very good so far. Its seems to track very accurately and has a good feel about it. :)
