Edit, saying that the BS boxes need modifying to fit around the master cylinder, but the Reverie box may well fit without modding as its a little smaller.

I have mate yes not cheap tho are they

Race battery came today really pleased with it and another 8KG off the ZR's weight. Was a bit worried as CCA is only 170amps but turns over no problem

Awesome, big weight saving there.
I need to wire in a kill switch so plan on doing a light weight battery at the same time.
Where are you going to mount it?

JOHNDQ · 10-02-16, 12:09 PM

Mounting it where the passenger seat once was

Had a day off today to try get finished up only a few silly things now but other than getting the battery mounted and sorting the cables out its about ready for mapping, i will do the seat and plump in the bias valve etc later

Got the PRT fitted and put in a 90 degree hose to repair the heater pipe, also the uprated master cylinder in but i will need to get a different air filter due to the not much clearance now ....

And it looks like the end is almost in site just need to get the other wheels on so the slicks get a good clean up on the rollers

go to see it back together tho, also got a quick run up the street and back to make sure it drives
