    not a fantastic pic as short on space in the garage. I'll pop a nice one on when we get a good day

    Do you find that the weight is a lot less and better distributed with the low centre of gravity ? As that is what I want to achieve Thanks :cool:

    Hi
    The weight shed is noticeable although not dramatic as I went from a pair of aftermarket arrows to the lowboy. the balance is improved especially going into a corner and has given me miles more confidence. The remap combined with the quickshifter is just beyond words to be honest totally not needed but best few hundred quid I have spent on it. The noise is beautiful and sings so much better than the twin arrows and the over run just make me grin. Definately a much sharper bike now than stock mate.

    Thanks lads a real warm friendly welcome here. I'll get her out in a minute and get a proper picture on hopefully see how the exhaust looks a little clearer. I'm also looking to give her a name and open to suggestions

    Congrats on the union Colin, I hope she gives you many years of happiness
    Would you be taking her on days out to the track, chasing the horizon on A/B roads or communting to work...or all of them :)

    Nice garage too, looks like quite a set up you have there
