lol this is how i feel this morning....i dont think its a gasket issue i think the cast has warped as its a multilayer metal gasket and where i point i can move it with the trim tool. i suspect it is the same on opposite corner. which is why i can hear top n bottom.

re japi

Sorry, I ment this thing... :)
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Defo diff brace, dragon performance one

Bobfish

I had something similar to that on mine, took it off as it made the vibrations horrid!

Sorry i missed your call jon ive been ill recently after that festival, it ruined me!

The thingat the front (anti rollbar mount) is a dragon performance one too.  It braces the front a bit more than normal.

re: teh gauge clusters, those 2000 spec ones i bought ages ago and they worked fro a while, then started behaving weirdly.  I don't think they are real, as they are backlit - like neon gauges?

a bit like these but rather than the light coming from the bulbs, the light comes from the actual gauge face itself



Anyway, that other box seems to be the ballast/control box/ignitor for them, and one of the gauges (Think its the fuel one actually?) started blinking rapidly, the light was going on-off-on-off and it was horrible to look at.

I couoldnt find any info on them so I changed back to regular spec gauges.  Not sure what the deal is with the RPM Though!

give me a call today if oyu want to chat

Cheers
