Bike: 916SPS Foggy Rep

Thumbs up

MPL Clutch Slave Cylinder ~ I would say clutch is about 30% lighter. Quality product!

Also just 'binned' the JHP foam air filters (which looked minging) and put in a BMC Race Induction Kit.

System consists of two BMC air filters with support frames, gaskets, etc. Filters are oiled cotton (high permeability), and apparently increase air quantity in the entrance of the engine thus (according to the hype) guarantee an elevated efficiency of filtration, blah, blah.

They're also washable and reusable, so that's the last time I'll have to purchase any more (hopefully).

Glad to hear you finally got the problem sorted.

I like the look of these BMC filters, do you mind me asking where you got yours from and how much did they set you back? I know they aren't cheap!

Got Forza Italia to put them in when they were sorting the engine problem: £145 + a nominal fitting charge. As you say they're not cheap, but the bike seems to 'breath' better ~ had to bin the JHP foam filter as it was tired and rather shabby anyway.

More shiny bits. . . . I think the subtle watch is a nice touch as well, lets me know when Mrs A is going to get angry when I've stayed out too long.

Though some R&G bits may save the day, but refrained from the ones that require drilling holes in the fairing.

I think you're right, but haven't been out that way for a while.
