Hey Conrice,
Just noticed you did a sssa on a 954. looks like a crazy amount of work but looks amazing great job !! also did you noticed a much lower engine temp now that your not running the plastics ?? mine runs at 180-183 F at normal riding conditions at speed after warming up .

 

Riding in heavy traffic and sitting at stop lights were where I noticed a big difference. Open roads at speed - there was no difference between no fairings and fairings. But I used to burn my legs at stoplights. Once the fairings were off, it didn't get as hot as fast.


This was when I lived in SW FL - so I assume its a similar situation as it is in TX.

 

yea hot as ***** here in summer, just stupid to ride in stop n go traffic when its 100+ out! also factor in +10-20 degrees hotter on freeway during heavy traffic so ??????? I'll opt out for my car with a/c in that case.
I decided to powder coat the new rc wheels a matte silver color some time after my cota track day too. Ill post some pics when they are complete.
Thanks again for your input!

Here are the wheels. I received them about a week ago and the front was warped. The guy I purchased them from was cool enough to pay for them to be repaired.
Wills Rim repair was incredible !
I called around for some pricing and every one wanted $200-$300 regardless of the condition WTF
so he charged $ 50 to straighten them and $14 for return shipping and took only 2 days and when I received them they have been perfectly trued !!
Added bonus was he did not put a scratch on them !!
I'm very impresses with his skill,
ill post another pic after they are powder coated and installed
Should be this Monday
