    Cheers Daz but there not getting of the hook that easy as the k tec spring was cheaper for them than the ohlins one and that's the only reason they were trying to get me to agree to the k tec spring.

    sound like a right bunch of cowboys,makes me realise how lucky I am to have made some very good contacts over the years,that way you get to keep clear of shit box operations like these.

    as fr daz'z blade,i'd be very surprised if it didn't kick the arse of that kwaker :) might take the beemer up for a power run when you go daz,just to see,dont have a dyno printout for mine as it stands

    Not many Bikes will 'Out Torque' a standard Blade as well Mr Scoobs knows, hence the quick shift to BHP! ;)

    Daz do you have a working link to the place that you will be taking your bike to???

    I might just visit hammer and fuckin tongs with my hammer. If i take my bike else where and they tell me hammer and tongs didn't do a very good job then i will be expecting to be compensated.......

    Haha.... Can't teach an old dog new tricks...didn't think it would work lol

    Got a great link to one of my fairly stand blades on the dyno

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nbm-9Mh618

    Tt at was mapped at the rocket centre by my pal Ben Rea.. He now runs his own shop doing all sorts of bikes.. Race prep is a specialty of his.. He does the roads. He won the new comers c race .last year at the Manx and finished 5th this year in the super twin on the cms kawasaki.. A good lad and worth a shout for anything you may need

    only problem with that matt is that FWd are the UK agent for dynojet,so mightnot be too willing to slate a company that they have sold equipment to,but on the other hand,if they aren't able to use the equipment properly who knows.

    for all we knkow anyway,your bike could be spot on,like I said the actuall line on the graph looks fine,just stops a little short at the top,about 20bhp short :)

    you don't seem happy mate seem a bit deflated.. Bike will be right mate just needs running in etc.. Most bikes being prepped for racing do a steady 5 or 600 miles on the dyno before any things fitted etc.. Power will come as it loosens up.. It's still a brand new bike settling down and doesn't seem slow or down on power mate.. You've a cracking machine there that will tick all the boxes for you I'm sure.. Hope you enjoy it mate :D
