Pump up the laughing gas

If anyone wants a set of Pro stock springs for the GSX i have just listed the ones i got a while ago on eBay, all money generated will go to a good cause!
A friend was good enough to weld the Lambda boss i got (eBay again) onto the exhaust today. And a neat job it is too, i touched up the exhaust paint where the weld is and put the exhaust back on the bike.
I also cut down a new rear light lens as the original was cracked in two.... i was determined not to break it as this is rear light number 3!
Most of the bits to finish off the nitrous kit have arrived, at weekend i'll be able to get that plumbed in properly and i may take a trip out to get the bottle filled. I'll try and buy some Methanol while i'm there. There must be somewhere nearby that does it but the only place i can find it is in Manchester.

One of the things i've always been unsure about was the working pressure of the Air shifter. The engine kill switch that is part of the shifter was puzzling me as it didn't seem to switch. But it turns out the pressure just needs to be really high. The range is 80 - 120psi. On this bike the air is stored in the Swinging arm and there appears to be enough in there for several shifts.
My foot pump only goes to 100psi so i bought an electric one from halfords that goes to 150!
