Not had chance to ride it yet, probably wont until the forks are done to be honest Also got to finish wiring up the alarm too, wires everywhere at the moment

Where did you mount your remote res? did you have to relocate your fuel filter because of the remote res hose too?

all my stuff has been moved around
fuel pump is up front over the front cylander under the tank
and i dont have a stock under tail so i ran it up into the tail and strapped it to the subframe, all i will have to do is take the seat off to make any adjustments. nice and simple
i dont like how some people show it off. that does make for easy tweeking but once its set up you wont be messing with it much after that.

Can't remember what it was in $, in GBP it was 569 incl shipping, I got hit for a £50 charge from customs.

So all in it was £619. Bloody good deal as Penske UK wanted £495 + shipping just for an 8981

I've been selling a ton of stuff into the EU, Canada, Australia, Asia. Sometimes the exchange rates work against you, sometimes for you.
