Just finished the Clark 4.7 Gas Tank Installation. Looks good and fitted easily. Need some brackets though, still in pipeline.

HDB ADV Hand Guards
Just finished the installation of the HDB ADV Hand Guards, Due to misunderstanding I was supplied the wrong Top Clamp, will get correct one at end of month. I had to do a little bending to make it fit but not a lot. Will give feedback once I have taken a ride with it.

Jets & HDB Handguards
Yip the UPS man delivered again. Now I have all the items to do the full Dave's Mod and I did get the full HDB Handguards, they look really strong.
Inside
Now the modifications can start, I am still going to try and get the BRP on a dyne before any mods and then once all done get dyne done again, just to determine what it actually meant.

Oil Temperature Gauge
Ok, did the whole 12buck oil temperature gauge mod.
Works excellent, running on the blackstuff at about 55mph temperature is 240F
Trail riding in 1st & 2nd gear temperature is 225F
Highest it went during the afternoon is 248F
Now the BRP has got only 280km on the clock so I am not hammering it yet, I will keep updating the temperature readings.
Here's some pictures

Xmas UPS
Ok, got the following delivered by the UPS Xmas man.
XR's Only Muffler
Uni Filter
Clark 4.7 Tank
XR's Only Smog block off kit
Harbor Freight Temperature Gauge
Fastenal M20 x 2.5 Bolts
Still waiting for
Jets from JetsRus
Handguards from Highway Dirt Rider
Vapour Instrument
Pivot Pegz
The plan is to dyne my XR before doing any modifications and then dyno it after, will give feedback on what jets eventually gave best result.
I did do the Oil Temperature Gauge Modification this afternoon, will have to wait for the glue to set, so tomorrow I will be able to start having an idea of just how hot the Big Red Pig runs. This will eventually give the information that is needed to decide whether to fit an oil cooler or not. It will also give an idea of running temperature differences after the smog stuff, air filter, jets and exhaust have been done

Upgrades
Well after some research, I went ahead and ordered the following:
Xr's Only Smog Kit
Uni Filter from Xr's Only
Xr's Only Exhaust
Clark 4.7 from CycleBuy
Now ones these have arrived via the post we will continue with the assembly
I have also found the Jets for the Dave's Carb Mod at Jetrus, I think, as soon as I can get confirmation that these are the correct ones to buy, they will be ordered.
Then I have decided that the Hand Guards that I want are the Ultimate Handguards

Now I am still looking for a digital oil temperature gauge before I decide on which oil cooler I must get.
Open to any suggestions
