Shopping list for 2013 track season
- Thread starter Corsara
- Start date
Exactly, I wouldn't get too excited. It looks like the engine is Honda, but that's about it. Plenty of companies use Honda engines in their generators etc, doesn't mean it's a "Honda Genny".
For example:

Ahhh, yes yes. Didn't think they'd call it a Honda generator if it just contained a Honda engine

Right here in Ont!

Ohhh, wasn't even intending to pick this up but WAY too good of a deal came my way so I couldn't resist!
Onto my 07 R1 will go this (for the track):
Plus this: http://www.emprum.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1
It'll record video, from the dash area looking back at me, and of course do the GPS track overlay with lap times at the same time, then I'll have my Hero2 recording looking out the front, and I'll do picture in picture with real time track overlay for some sweeeeeeet track vids! I might even try and hook up my TPS wire for live throttle position display, and if I want to get really wacky a brake pressure sensor and suspension travel sensor too! Insane
This iPod is my first ever Apple device, ever! Took me 2 hours to buy Harry's Lap Timer Pro and get it installed on the iPod! lol
This iPod came with an iMac too, but I haven't taken it out of the box yet. I'll probably just resell it. If I start using a bunch of Apple stuff I'd have to switch from Timmies to Starbucks! NOOOOOOO!

Cool. Just make sure you find some kind of industrial strength case and mount so you don't destroy it when you crash.
I was there last night picking up some parts and I tried on the SPIDI gloves, top ****ing notch.
I think of cold tearing like this,, with good warmers that get your tire into the high 80's and even low 90's and have heat soaked the tire well, you go out and use $10 of rubber. [the dollar value is just a figure it would change according to rider] If you use no warmers or poor heating warmers you will use ,say,$30+ dollars per session. Cold tearing most riders do not see. It happens in the middle of the session and is cleaned up the last couple laps. Unless it is suspension or compound related.A cold tire also beats up the carcas/side wall as well.So your tire will not last as long.
And there is nobody that I know that can heat a tire up to full operating temperature in 2 laps.It is simply impossible!
You can also see cold tearing with warmers that do not supply enough heat. I have tested all warmers and some will not bring the tire up over 50 C.So if half your heat is going thru the roof you may have problems. Keep in mind the top riders in the AMA Daytona Sportbike on the Buffalo Dunlop we were seeing 125 C. The guys with cheap warmers were having tire issues becasue they could not hit the temperature marks.
So good warmers will pay for themselves by saving your tires,which allows you to do suspension,which allows you to ride faster easier,,which relates to more fun safer!
An average session at 'bogie is between 6 or 7 laps, even for a fast rider. To waste 2 of them riding at 75% is not an option. Assuming I'm warmed up and have my eye in I want to hit turn 1 out the pits at 90% and turn 2 at 100%. So cooking my tyres is a must!
I forgot that I ordered an Accossato clutch lever to match my Accossato master. So, hopefully, I will have a set of Vortex shorties up for sale soon. And I've already had my front and rear refreshed. And tomorrow I will be buying track time. So everything that I thought I wanted is out the window.
I got NRC covers for left stator and right (both idler and starter clutch) from a fellow rider on gtam, also new gaskets. The left cover is rashed from a crash but still in top shape functionally, but doesn't look good, so I wonder if I can paint it with tremclad high heat black spray..
Also, got good brake lines, but I made a mistake with the order and ordered the lines that go over the fender instead of the ones that are two single lines coming from the MC, and it's too late to change the order
In addition, I've received two sets of Ferodo XRAC brake pads to complement the new lines. I'm thinking about investing into a good master cylinder now...should I, should I not..

Yeah, i know. Good thing with the MC is that you can move it to your new toy if you happen to switch bikes later.

I had no complaints with the traditional double lined brake lines.... so I stuck with it. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.
I believe something to do with the air bubbles always going up, so if it's two lines it goes up to MC, but if the 1-2 split, the over the fender line air goes...well...just over the fender..
Yeah, both my bikes have two brake lines for the front...
No complaints with the two lines coming from the top, or the one line from the top and the other over the fender split from the first line?
It's cheap, I'm sure I'll have more things to worry about if I crash
I was thinking this ram mount case, mounted to my steering stem (have my GPS mount there now, which I usually remove for the track, so this should work sweet): http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResu...65077045072079076045065080049048/Default.aspx
It doesn't look nearly as strong as the GPS mount I got from them
I'm sure with that case, in a crash, the iPod would depart my motorcycle.That RAM mount says you have to use your iPod in it "naked", iPod won't fit with any cases on it.
If I don't go the ram mount route I was going to glue a silicone case to a plate with RTV sealant, then mount the plate to the steering stem. Should keep the iPod snuggy and not wear it where the mount points of the RAM case would have been. Should be easy enough to slip in and out of the case too. Not sure RTV sealant will stick to a silicone case but I'll give it a whirl.
