Thanks for the comments guys. I was out yesterday testing at Mallory and am relatively happy with how the afternoon went.
I have some minor adjustments to make between now and my first race, but all good.
I didn't take many pictures, being focussed on what I was there for, but here's one in the garage with the tyre warmers on.

Hi ben,
My mate was at mallory testing yesterday with danny harrison who does thunderbike on an r6 and he text me saying theres this awesome looking kwak race bike in the paddock you'd love it, he was like i don't know what it is though. I replied with a picture of your bike that i stole off here and he was like how did you know it was that bike lol?
I knew you'd said you would be at mallory this week and there can't be many other kwak race bikes like yours can there!
He was well impressed with it!

It did attract quite a lot of attention, which is nice when others appreciate your efforts.
The weather was horrible yesterday and I don't like gusty winds round high speed corners, so I was only taking it easy. I was also running the bike in, so couldn't open it up. I took it round to 9k in the final session, but it wouldn't have looked very impressive going round slowly.
That picture was taken at lunch time before the first session when I was switching tyres to intermediates.
