Lennies, VS filter and rocket sprockets fitted. Wow!

As it says; what you've done to your bike and how it helped make it better.

Finally got around to sorting this little lot. It won't be a surprise to those who've got this gear fitted, but I was blown away. Bike sounds better and the pick up and mid-range urge is blinding. It actually feels like it's got half as much torque again in the mid-range. I realise this is probably not the case, but that's how it feels.

The Induct was a pig to fit. After much buggering about it clears the front wishbone by 2mm.

The bike definitely feels a bit more vibey since the sprockets went in, but I can't argue with the difference they made to the mid-range. These went in first and did a couple of hundred miles before messing with the air intake. This second step took it to another level. Brill.

It honestly feels like someone's nicked a gear or two, just because it'll pull a higher gear happily now for swift overtakes.

One happy hombre :D

Just the PCIII to go in when I can afford the dyno time.

Congratulations :thumbright:

Why not fit the PC with stock setting? You might find that it smoothes out the on-off nature of low range throttle response.

Just been lazy/scared to get on with it until now. Bike was running well and didn't want to eff it up. Pillock :roll: . Left the PC til last because (a) it's the bit that needs more money spending, and (b) the idea of messing with the wiring is a worry :? .

Hoping the PC will sort the occasional shotgun backfire on the overrun too.

Boxermed,

Good to see you are happy with the result.

Yes fitting the InDuct can be a bit of a fiddle but wrth the effort.
