Carbon body work, tank and once piece tail unit; Electronics - remapped and re-worked (over 300 maps re-written);
Results - 151 kilos excluding fuel and +200HP. First test 24th Oct. Gonna be EPIC.

Thanks for all the positive comments - appreciated.
When the builder sent me a text when bike was on the dyno reading "the way this thing is spinning up I think we have gone a bit to far...." it kinda put things in perspective....
Riding the R here in Dubai was fun (on the Autodrome) - that bike was light and the front wheel like to come up and that was with the power being hampered by high engine temps due to inefficient rad etc; goodness only knows what this will be like - not just with the power/weight comb but with the pukka factory pressurised cooling system so power will be true!
Glad the engine mapping allows to choose delivery and of course my right wrist! It will be easier to ride than the R though due to the mapping/throttle; am looking forward to full throttle on the straights though...
