gdyup, yeah rear brake is back on to pass scrutineering, I may even have a thumb brake kit arriving in the next few weeks...
I have shortened the wheelbase, but not by removing a link. It's just a new chain and a 43 tooth sprocket (stock is 40). I have found the 43 tooth unreal, evens things up a bit for the bigger rider. Reasonably high up in the second gear rev range it will now lift on the power all the way up to balance point too .
re: tyres, I toasted the front dragon super corsa and replaced it with the newly released diablo corsa, which allegedly is better. Purely my opinion, I found the super corsa to be confidence with a capital P. Off the rim the diablo looks like it has a sharper profile, but from my road and track experience I don't think it steers as quick, the super corsa would just fall into a corner whereas the diablo tends to run wide / push / understeer on the exit. The only thing the diablo could have going for it is better wet grip, superior wear and it's about $20 cheaper...All I want is max grip at max lean in the dry = dragon super corsa .
Wear on the diablo was pretty good considering the slapping it received...

ffg, you're a great advertisement for them, their next ad campaign should go something like, "have you lived life on the highside lately..."
