    Done, some have been a little confused the cheaper HM shifters on the market are for different setups, for example the HM Quickshifter PC is for power commander, it does NOT work with bikes with 8 injectors and the cost is much cheaper £250.00 the only shifter I sell is the HM Quickshifter PLUS (S/H) so if shopping around make sure you look at the right model. :)

    Venture Shield of course .Theres no point in cladding your bike in all the goodies if it comes back after a ride out with the front end speckled like a birds egg. Think Bike!!

    I've pretty much all of the mods that everyone has mentioned apart from the m/c and q/s, both of which are on my wishlist. I find it hard to put my finger on that 'one' item that transformed the bike. The one thing I know that me been the worst mod was Pirelli Angels that just won't fuck off and wear out. I killed a set of R10 Bridgestone's in 500 miles, there feels like 5000 miles on these and they are still like new. I'll be putting some R10's back on in about April.

    To say 1 thing that's transformed the bike would be PVM wheels.

    Because of the reduction in weight/unspung mass it reduces the gyroscopic effects of the wheel, this improves acceleration, braking and a much improved steering response.

    I had Dymags on the R1 and it was amazing how it transformed the bike, it was worth every penny and I will get them again

    Have had Marvic and Marchenisi on my blades the benefits are immediate, the best really comes into play when you're hammering it and scratching has a new meaning. The ease in which you can change direction cannot be replicated by bog standard wheels.

    I noticed the difference between the standard wheels and the Marchesini's immediately - within 100 yards. NO race bike/car has the standard wheels as you will not get anywhere with them, unsprung weight is a vital component of winning in racing; the more you have the slower your vehicle will be ask any cyclist.

    I have Galespeeds, BST, OZ racing and March's on my bikes best money you can spend, quicker acceleration, stopping, turning, suss, all factors improve. My 848 with BST's is like a 130bhp RS250!!! The best!

    The boys beat me to it ..lol

    My standard back wheel alone felt heavier than both my Dymags lol

    As said , bike feels lighter , turns easier , accelerates faster , brakes better , Next bike i buy the first 2 grand will be on mag wheels
