NJMP Lightning with HOD NorthEast

Excited to get some additional track time before the season ends, I signed up to run with HOD NorthEast again, this time at NJMP Lightning. I was bit concerned looking at the weather a week before since it looks liked it was just going to be a wash out but we got lucky and Saturday turned out to be a perfect break in the weather and we were blessed with dry weather and highs in the mid-70s. The car cotinues to feel great and I set a new PB for Lightning at 1:15.99 (just barely squeaked in under 1:16 lol).

Beautiful day for a track day

Additional USB-C Port

The T120 has a conveniently located USB-C port in the rear of the clocks which I use to power my Quad lock wireless charger but I wanted a second USB-C port in order to keep any additional accessories I may mount like a camera charged up for longer rides. I picked up an Evotech USB-C cable and wired it to my Thunderbox and mounted the connector right by the front forks for easy access. Admittedly the space under my seat is starting to look a little bit like a rat's nest but there's not really a lot of space under there to tuck things out of the way to begin with.

Chain Maintenance

I got the bike serviced pretty much right at the 600 mile break-in point. I've put in over 800 miles since then so it was time to clean and lube the chain.

Maintance Update:

Mileage: 1,450

- Oil clean and lube using Motul fluids

Motone Tail Tidy

I wanted to have a little bit of storage under the seat so I switched tail tidies to the Motone V3 unit with the Gort light then moved the turn signals back from the shock mounts to license plate so I could actually free up space on the sides in case I want to bring any saddle bags.

A little cubby under the seat for paperwork lol

New tail light and turn signals moved to the rear again

PIAA 530 Foglights

I wanted to have more visibility to other drivers on the road so I fitted a pair of PIAA 530 yellow fog lights onto the factory crash bars using PIAA mounts and wired it using a Thunderbox which is an awesome piece of kit that allows accessory electrical items to get powered up without having to splice any factory wiring.

Post-Track Day Maintenance

With 3 track days out of the way, it was time for some basic post track day maintenance, specifically an oil hange and quick nut and bolt.
