Hey everyone hope you're all doing well. Happy late Easter.

Yes been living life, a busy one but still enough time to enjoy myself
Took my niece for a short ride, now she's hooked on riding




But of old progress news (haven't been on here for awhile sorry!), the digital shift is all finished off. If this doesn't raise a few eyebrows I don't know what will, I'm pretty proud of the finished product.



Pull this whole setup apart along with the engine mount, coil and fuel line half a dozen times to get it all to fit while still looking cool/neat. Took a bit of messing around to get the fuel line out and around the coil while out of the way of the shift sticks path, as well as getting the coil in a spot it and the leads cleared everything. All while looking half decent. I trialled a number of different ways before settling on this setup. Remember it's a small tank, everything actually sits in much tighter to the frame, so it was a headache to say the least. I kept the stock ciol and wrinkled it. I had the later model grenade coil sitting there for it but it was far too big to squeeze in there in any way



Finally got the brake caliper fixed, so I can start putting the rear back together. I spoiled the bike a little more while the rear was apart and got this EK 3D gold and black chain. One of the highest tensile strengths around for street use I could find that also looks like ****.

Not really, brave would be running no front brake in conjunction with jockey shift. I got too much power to attempt no brake though

Freak show, I wish I could say it's giggle gas, but for now it's just ignition switch and the line is a fuel line

Thanks SKT!
