Getting into track days?...

[Funky]

One question I have, when people mention taping up lights and mirrors, what exactly do you mean by that? Just put sellotape over them? And why is it necessary? Lots of questions!

It's not really essential to tape up the lights etc, but if you can use the same colour tape as the rest of the fairing then it instantly makes it a track bike, which in turn decreases your lap times by 10 seconds. Removing or folding in your mirrors is quite important imo, because on track, you shouldn't be worried about what's behind you, only what's infront of you.

Folding in mirrors is for aerodynamic purposes do reduce your drag coefficient and has been known to shave 2 seconds off your lap time...
