you dear sir have ruined a good looking bike shame

ahh each to his own i guess
I made sure I can change it all back. It only takes a weekend and it is a fun quiet time playing with a new toy.
There is a method to my madness. I need to change carb jets between runs at the race track. I removed the muffler to get more top end power . I used my bigest jets DJ#110 and it went fast in June but it was very hot like 110 deg f.
In Sept it was 80 deg and in Oct in will be below 70 . I went so lean in Sept I could not reach the revlimiter in fifth gear. And the plug tips started to melt.
By running naked I can pull the carbs and change the jets and check the plugs. Without having to bother with the fairings.
Also I am in 12th place in the points championship. If I brake a record I will get a lot of points. By running without fairings I am in a Modified class not Partial Streemlining.
The record for a modified supercharged 350 cc 4 stroke is 70 mph. I guess someone blew a motor at half track?
I can run in the 350 class while I adjust my jetting .When I feel it won't go any faster I will put the fairing back on and run for a Partial stremliner record. that speed is 108mph
the fastes I have gone is 106 and that is in the hot weather of june when my jetting was off also.
The streetfighter was not my thing but after going to the Isle of man TT and seeing so many cool looking ones .And sitting on this little bike with the clip ons (Witch hit everything like the dash and fairings ) It is kinda growing on me.
