Oil Temp Sensor and Ride Height

The oil temp sensor wiring looks to have cooked itself and grounded out so i have been getting errors through on the DL1 and the temp is reading incorrectly.  Pulled it all apart tonight and pulled through some new wires to wire it up tomorrow as i need another plug.
Also need to fix the horn as it fell off whilst @ Wakefield
 Adjusted all the ride heights again and hopefully they are correct and i can get an alignment. The hard thing is the heights are different on the shock body so you can't just adjust them all the same and the ride height is correct. This means lots of adjusting and playing around so will try and get it finished tomorrow night

Front splitter Starting to bow

noticed tonight the front splitter is starting to bow, not sure if it's from repeated hits or is the fiberglass sagging over the foam core.
It is hard to get a photo of it but looking at it with the naked eye it is easy to spot and sagged buy 5 or 6mm either side

Gearbox crunching 4th

i dropped the oil today and used a chux cloth to filter out any potential filings, i did pick up a bit of sludge of very fine particle's over the sump plug and after using my chux draining system switched to a pot filter from bunnings and ran the oil again through this to pick up anything else.

Gearbox Crunching 4th

Noticed under high load at the last track day that the new gearbox was starting to crunch into 4th at high fast gear changes from 3rd to 4th.
Could be as simple as the offset shift not aligning correctly as i try to change as fast as possible or something greater but it seemed to get worse as the day went on.
