Alas mine is up for sale already as the bike of my dreams has come up at a price I can't ignore and I have way too many already. Won't be sorry if it doesn't sell as I have come to appreciate why they have such a following now and I think it has as much character as a M*nst*r having owned it a while.
other than hoping it doesnt sell :evil: :wink: so what is this dream bike of yours then?

Hi, I have fitted a PC3 (tl1000s type) and it came with the full yoshi & filter map. which was a pretty rich fueling map . My Rappy has the top of the airbox and side pods removed, Leo vince SBK pipes with DB killers in, all internal fittings in the air box removed and a TRE fitted, also I have a switchable resistor (220 ohm) on the temp sensor . I found a map on this site and I can not remember who made it, but it was a photo of the PC3 software screen. Anyway I put it into a map format and loaded it into my bike and I think it is a pretty good base map. Smoother at the bottom and more responsive through the range. I do not seem to be able to load the PC# usb File here so if you want a copy PM me and Will email it to you.

I take it that pic is before removal of the airbox side pods?
I tried that but found it allowed water to stand in the bottom of the airbox all the time so I fitted cut down intake horns from the TLR.
Theres pics on here already showing them fitted.

Today, I did mostly hold a light stick, whilst my friend put on my new blue v-trec levers, in fading light, in my shed.

Ohhhhh myyyy, they're tasty!

Been tempted to do the same meself (install v-trecs not hold a light stick) - have you got any pics Dizzy?

Which levers did you go for? I'm interested in the short ones as when I move the barke lever on the bar to allow me to get a good handful I end up with a good view of me right shoulder & arm in the mirror.

Here's one of my V trec folding levers. Bit expensive but worth it.

Took delivery of a nice new leather seat cover for it then realised I had no staples left so that'll be a job for the weekend. The original seems to be disintegrating :o
Also started checking local places that could make a small rack to take a small top box, don't need it for carrying stuff more of a back rest to stop a child falling off the back :shock: :nod: :mrgreen:

Started on replacing the knackered seat cover today.
A few set backs so far, broken fixing tabs on the seat plastics, snapped bolts for the seat catch/hand strap and absolutely soaking wet seat foam

So have replaced the catch bolts with some nice stainless steel nuts and bolts and binned the hand strap, squeezed excess water out of the foam and it's now drying in the airing cupboard
