The GSD mirror block offs I sell on Ebay.
Made it to the track again on Friday. The humidity was hi to say the least. It is tough burning water over air! I did not best my ET however I was very close to my PB and my MPH picked up. I'm still foot shifting and still grabbing the clutch running down the track, hard habit to break. I ran my buddy on a 06 GSXR 1000 11 times! I'm 10-1.
We both were launching at 8k plus. If I hesitated at all he was all over me with that 1000. He regularly "treed" me on the Pro tree but I'd make it up within 60' and hold the lead from there on out. Needless to say we had a blast as there was hardly anyone at the track so it was like a $25 private track rental.
Best run of the night.

I worked on the bike a little last night. I spent some time mounting the piston for the air shifter. Currently there isn't an off the shelf mounting kit for these bikes. What I came up with I feel should work just fine, we'll see.
I made a paper template first than transfered it over to my piece of 1/2" aluminum. If I had something thinner here I probably would have used that instead as 1/2" is overkill.
Next up was cutting the aluminum. I started with my horizontal band saw just to get a smaller work piece.
I used a metal skill saw to make the rest of the cuts. (This saw kicks ass!)
Next up was fitting the piston to the shifter arm. The arm is slightly wider than the clevis opening. I quick trip to the table sander knocked the finish off of the shifter and allowed the clevis to slide over.
The bolt hole through the shifter arm had to be opened up slightly to allow the pin to pass through the clevis.
The assembly ready to go back on the bike.
A quick mock up shows where I need to trim my bracket some, more for aesthetics than anything else. I'm going to machine a small pocket in the bracket for the piston to sit in. This will help with the angle at which the piston sits. I gave a little pull on the shifter arm to pull it away from the bike to also help with alignment. The range of motion feels smooth.
