MotoMFG Stand

I am so happy that I've been able to get the adaptor plate ground down just enough that it works well with my Woodcraft Rearsets set up for MotoGP Shift.  When I first did the rearset conversion there wasn't quite enough room for this stand to work.  I've been mirroring the adjustment that I've been making on my street 848 and I recently figured out that there was no way that I was gonna ride with them quite as high as I initially configured them for.  After I lowered them to the second set of holes, it looked like there was a significant area available to the adaptor plate.  This was a total temptation because it brought me within about 1 mm of a perfect fit. Thank goodness for pots of coffee and kitchen mounted bench vices hand grinders.  (you should see me carve a turkey!)

I love my MotoMFG stand and although I had already purchased seperate front and rear stands for the track, nothing makes me happier than having this beauty back in the role of being my primary tear down stand. 

Alrighty, time to shower and make myself look a normal woman for work. 

If you're gonna ride, remember to twist it!!

Out for some fresh air and the first start-up!!

So great to get a leep in the sunlight!

I only put the hand control gaurd on the brake side

Of course this is the only view I want you to have!

Well looks like I'm gonna go twist it for a while on the street bike, really getting exciting for the season to start!!

Build complete!

Hmm, now where can I test ride her?

Got out riding this afternoon.
It was my first day cutting over to GP style shifting and wow I screwed it up a lot.

A few times I tried starting out in 2nd, meant to upshift and downshifted - can you say super rev !?!
I couldn't find neutral as easily either which didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

But I've got to say that once I got a hang of it, it's way better than 1 down 5 up.
kick and twist is really natural under hard acceleration.

What can I say but 'Twist It" - Dz

I'm hoping for a litter of Mini-Bikes
