    That was a great piece of work. Well done. Can I ask where you got the race fairings? Also, how do you find the bike on track? I currently have a Triumph 675r and its great but I really would like one of these. They look great and sound great. I also think they are fast enough for a mere mortal like myself. All the best from Ireland!

    • @skwidvids
      @skwidvids  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the feedback! I got the fairings from Woodcraft. They are Armour Bodies. Really good quality. I had a 675r and if I were to compare the two bikes, I’d say the 660 feels like a slight downgrade as far as power and chassis. The 660 is a different class of motorcycle though. For what it is, it’s a great machine. Fun, flickable and for a small parallel twin, the motor is snappy and offers good power. Excellent street bike with all of the rider assists and comfortable(ish) seating position.

    hi, love the video! Just quick question, when you cut/replace the brake hose, how did you do that? drain the reservoir/master cylinder then replace the hose and then bleed the calipers as well? I am about to install the woodcraft clip-ons and armour bodywork, not sure what is the right procedure I should follow, thanks

    • @skwidvids
      @skwidvids  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the feedback! The easiest method is to drain the reservoir, pinch the line (I used needle nose pliers, and remove the line. Make sure to measure and cut the new line ahead of time. As long as you keep the bars in place, air shouldn’t make its way into the master cylinder because there will still be fluid in it. Be ready with damp rags or paper towels to clean any spilled fluid. Install the new line, mount the reservoir then add the fluid back into the reservoir. There may be air in the new line but you can usually pinch the line to move the air up into the reservoir. If you think you have air in the system, start by bleeding the MC. That will most likely be the only place air has made its way in. If at all.

    The top triple nut is a 26mm socket and is not easy to find. Also make sure to press on the nut as you crank as it is super low profile and the socket can slip very easily = rounded off nut and a ding in your tank.... ask me how I know.....

    also, are you going to use some steering stops to limit steering?

      @@FutureProductionz239the biggest reason is that the stock ergonomics are more comfortable for street riding where you’ll be spending more time in the middle of your bike as compared to moving side to side like you would during track riding. The taller oem position also makes it easier to quick steer because you’re able to generate more leverage from a neutral riding position.

    What adjustments did you have to make as far as fork positioning is concerned to maintain proper geometry? I guess same question would be for your Ohlins rear shock upgrade. I'm reading that there are some issues with the front tire hitting the radiator if forks aren't lengthened so I was curious about your take on this
