    A company called xtrac in Thatcham berkshire might be able to do it, they make a lot of F1 gearbox stuff as we supply them with carbide profile tools for cutting gear profiles

    haha,now theres something you'll never see.@ £3200ish you'll never find a cheap nova box,be better to buy a bike with 1 already in.my m8 has just bought a spare engine for his blade and is having a nova box fitted to that aswell (his main engine has 1 already).

    you'll have more chance of finding a HRC box,just need to keep your eyes open on forums/ebay,but they are never cheap due to the fact that blade boxes are made of cheese,and not a super hard parmesan style cheese,more an over ripe brie!!!! so are in demand.

    spoke to xtrac this morning its not something they do so looks like im saving for a nova or sending my transmission off to america to be undercut .
    £2600 for a nova and about £1800 for a hrc but they only have three dogs so apparently a bit snatchy

    2600 plus VAT I think.

    the dog problem you'll only really notice on slow speed corners,at low revs and then when you start to throttle on can be a little snatchy.

    this is the reply I got from MPE about undercutting

    Hi Steve,
    sorry, this is not a service I provide. I only make new gears and shafts (new gears available with undercutting)
