Rear Suspension Link Plates. Part 2

Today I received 2 pairs of rear suspension link plates in the post.
I had them cut out of 6mm thick 6061-T6 aluminium by Fabrum Solutions in Christchurch, NZ.
The 4 plates cost NZ$160 ($40 each). The cut quality is pretty good but not quite perpendicular to the plate. It will be OK.

I used the files that I made available in this post.
I will play about with fitting them soon just for a bit of a play around.

One pair is just a copy of the HRC drawing on NSR-World.
The other is half way between the HRC plates and the stock MC18 plates.

Also, I am going to drop to 125 main jets (from std 128) and drill 4 holes in the air box and do some plug chops to see whats going on.

I took the bike on a ride with a friend (on a KTM690) last weekend but when I hit reserve tank the bike started to play up as though the jets were getting blocked or summit?
So I have pulled the tank off and checked things out, and pulled the carbs off.
There was a bit of "stuff" in the float bowls.
I have put an inline filter in the fuel hose as a result.
