I was feeling cramped on the bike, made worse by my two busted ankles. So I just swapped out the Woodcraft rearsets (designed for a younger and more flexible man) and fitted Lightech with custom made drop brackets.
I was space-constrained by the muffler, and had to fit a different hanger (the bent one from the hayshed) to get an extra few mm, and even then I can't use the back-most position. But they feel like a bit of an improvement, so we shall see how they go on Friday.
Converting these 'designed for road shift only' rearsets into GP was a lesson in ingenuity and patience. I don't care to admit how long it took, so I hope it makes a difference!

Nice one Nick! If they were the same position as on your wet bike, I can completely understand the cramped position!
Your chain looks a little loose

oh the fun of it all, I'm glad I'm not the only one that embarrassed by how long it takes me to do seemingly simple tasks...
so a thread hijack but re set up what do you keep a note of after races / track days? I'm trying to learn what I can about set ups ect, m going to start keeping detailed record's of each time I ride, what the conditions are, set up I've got ect, '
Basically I've drawn up a little log to record
Date-
Track-
weather-
Track temp (if known)-
tyres and pressures -
suspension settings-
each session 'best lap, average lap times ect-
and general notes-
anything else worth taking special not of???
gearing wont change much for me ATM, so ill just chuck that in the notes.
I need to get doing this. Got a lie detector now, so it's actually going to be making changes, noting feelings AND also seeing improvements or otherwise...

Nice one! Flipside, whack a trackmap up there, different line choices/overall feels? I like it mate.

Lol actually in prep for my day with Alex I have 3 or 4 sixmaps print outs of each turn at the front of the folder. I'm Planing on being a good school boy. (And getting my $$$ worth)

I've done a long list of other improvements too, in the lead-up to tomorrow:
- Took a link out of the chain, to shorten the wheelbase.
- Fitted clipons (instead of the OEM bars) to get a bit of extra length on the right-hand bar, to improve my leverage on the brake lever.
- Revalved the forks (less high-speed but more low-speed damping), based on needing the change after the big geometry change last time on track at the ARDC day.
- Fitted much heavier fork springs (for the same reason). The forks feel very firm, but very nicely compliant. Oh, the settings are all from Rob at Well Sprung; he told me what to do, and I just did it.
- Slight gearing change from last time out.
- A new foam seat. My occasional offsider even cleaned the fairings for me!
- New brake fluid.
Hoping for good lap times now!

I'm still not cool enough to park on an angle in the pits! So you're ahead of the game.
