Thanks guys. Thanks Mark for help with the parts you fabricated. Track pictures will be uploaded in the next few days. Too bad the last session did not record because it was the best of the weekend. The RZV frame swap was worth it and seems to be rock solid. Only one wiggle coming into 10 but that is slightly off camber and drops. Steering damper will stop that. The direction change is better with weight reduction. Have not had time to check geometry and weight distribution. I think the shock has lost the nitrogen charge because the rebound adjustments are hard to hear. Or at least that is what suspension guy said.
Shifting has gotten better. I seldom use first so the rest of the up-shifts I do not use the clutch. The tranny is better than it was after Rick replaced some parts he luckily had. If I had better ankle range and motion i could shift faster but it works well enough. I barely touch the clutch on downshifts and rely on engine noise to time the shifts. You have to watch my Barber video from 2011 and see the engine management ideas that Rick taught me. Most of the time I never look at tach except front and rear straights. It will pull 12K but the dyno runs had it running out of power at 9600 rpm.

The biggest change is how it now accelerates out of tight corners and at 8K. I try to carry more speed than the 4 strokes into the corner and because of the handling can turn in later giving more room to accelerate while getting the bike to stand back up. The EBC brakes allow me to keep accelerating past the big bikes at the end of straights. Into turn 11 I am braking between 100 to 50 feet. End of back straight i was at 175 to 100 feet. Since myself and everyone else is a track day rider I worry a bike in front of me might go down in corner and be where my runoff would be. When no one is in front of me I would brake deeper. I load the brakes about 10% to get the suspension to set and to flatten the front tire out then apply as much as it will take. Entering corner I am down to a finger or two on the lever to keep steering angle steeper so it will turn better. Back straight is .72 miles long and there is a huge runoff area if you can't stop. On a good lap right knee down turns 7, 9, 14, 16 to 18, and left at 1, 11, and could at 12, but I am usually concentrating on not lowsiding with the speed you are slowing down from. Can usually trail brake to apex or mid corner. All in all the new set up and engine work was worth the effort. Now I have to put the street bike back together.
