Went for a spin to Apollo Bay. No rain, few cars and a great ride before the winter sets in. Had the bike tuned with the new exhaust. Graph attached. Felt strong throughout the rev range and no complaints. Days like today reinforce why 2 wheels are an obsession.

I've just ordered this air-cleaner and have the bike booked in for it's 3rd service with a dyno tune for the new air-cleaner(in a couple of weeks, I'm not really doing it for any power gains just getting the STD snorkel out of the way of my leg and i like the look of Clearview cover - https://www.vanceandhines.com/product/vo2-insight/, I also ordered some 1"thrashing supplies riser extensions to make the riser's 10.5"- https://www.thrashinsupply.com/products/1-riser-extensions just hoping i have enough room with cables and wiring, I know the brake cable is well long enough

Aircleaner fitted and the bikes been retuned- since the original dyno tune I have also removed the Supertrapp's exhaust closed end cap and swapped for a open ended one, A little loss in both peak power and torque- 0.55hp and 1.99 ftlb's of torque, but the bike runs better especially low in the revision, I put the power loss down to the exhaust but I doesn't worry me. just happy how it runs and no snorkel in the way

Found your old graph, your new one seems to be a better tune, the variation you quoted can change day to day, hour to hour even in some cases, I don't think you have given up anything, as you say, it feels better 👍

I put my new tune over my old tune as it makes it easier to see the difference, the new tune's line is in black, old tune's in red, the tuner added 6 disc's to the Supertrapp also which the bike even sounds tougher now-

Cutting brackets underneath a rack that I’m going to use today for one of my bikes.
This is why you should leave the guard attached to your 4” grinder.

Looks like you were using one of they skinny cutting discs. Did it didnt bleed much ?
Ive got a decent scar on my wrist from when I was an apprentice using a 9 inch grinder with a grinding wheel.
I remember looking at the big gash in my flesh and wondering why it wasnt bleeding.
Glad they got banned, they were dangerous fuckin things. I saw a boilermaker removing the guard on a 9 inch grinder and fitting a drop saw blade in it cos he couldnt reach with the 9 inch wheel. That didnt end well. He was wearing a suede welders jacket but when the blade exploded it went through the jacket and they had to dig all the broken bits out of his guts in the hospital.

Yup, skinny one
Barely bled, I was more concerned about how much bone I’d taken out.
Hoping the photo stops someone else from being a fucking tool as well.

A quick touchup with Mr Sheen and off for a burn on an early spring-like day in Melbourne.
