In order...

Dunlop K106- k108 (not sure on compounds)
Metzeler Racetec K2 & K1 depending on track & temps
Pirelli Supercorsa as above

But, why the obsession with slicks?? I'll guarantee you'll be as quick on things like the Bridgestone R10, Metzeler Interact RR or Dunlop D212 GP's
And if you're going to go all out on track, get the standard Ohlins set up properly. It's really not that good despite being all shiny. Make sure your springs are correct front and rear, get decent oil in them and the levels set right and a decent valve kit.

Awesome, thanks Steve. Suspension on RSV #2 has been done by MCT in UK. It was stripped. Front was revalved, new Ohlins springs at 10mn. Rear, stripped, shaft jet, new oil, gas and spring.

Will PM you with other questions to stop spamming thread.

Sounds good

I thought I was the only person in the country with a brown conservatory

Try polishing exhausts in the Kitchen. It all goes brilliantly until you decide its taking far to long and decide to put a buffing attachment into a drill. Exhausts looked great, the walls and ceiling didn't. I needed hard hat that night

Its definitely brown on the outside Rick, but that's claret red on the inside ....equally gloomy though, I hate them too, just wasted space , unless filled with bikes etc....!

Let's hope they aren't called into action any time soon.

Do you have any experience of the effectiveness of the R&G engine covers? I've read that they aren't quite as good as the GB Racing ones?
