    Myself personally, I would give Yorkshiregooner a call and see if he has any BPF's for sale and upgrade the forks for the same money as 1 new fork.

    Got a flat battery the other day, probably due to the ABS still being active after I switched off the ignition. So bought a 2012 ABS ECU(apparently with new firmware) off our own YorkshireGooner (Thanks mate for posting so fast!)
    Didn't take too long to fit. Not sure if I'm imagining it, but on test braking seems to be a little sharper.

    Slick did you notice when using the rear brake, you can now feel the front being applied also?

    It was 1 of the first things I noticed when fitting the new ECU from Mark.

    TBH haven't used the rears on their own but the when I apply both the rear pop up in the air much more easier at speed and more consistently. The old ECU was a bit off\on, it would sometime raise the rear, sometimes not. I think the new ECU algorithms have been improved, all in all very happy with the upgrade!

    You have done what I did you have left the reservoir bracket on! If you take it off the res sits behind the heel guard rather neatly and the res can then be adjusted without it tipping with the rear set. Hope this helps a bit Cheers Raymondo. Or am I seeing things?
