    After the exhaust changes I've made, the Blade is getting a new custom map followed up with a trip to Alpha Suspension to get everything properly dialled in. Originally had suspension done by Firefox, but I couldn't get on with it (too damn twitchy).
    She's gonna feel like a new bike :)

    Bike should run really sweetly with the custom map. Suspension IMO is one of the most important things to get right. I have had several changes to mine in the last 3 years and I think it is about as good as it can be without spending some serious money on it.

    Good suspension can transform a bike, I hope you are pleased with it when it is all done.

    Well i got the custom map and suspension all done, firstly John at Alpha suspension has done a fantastic job and I'm well pleased. As for the dyno, 165 bhp and 81 ft/lbs of torque means she wheelies in 2nd with ease. Went for a ride over to Sherburn in Elmet afterwards and had a huge grin on my face when i got there.
    Not bad for my Frankenstein exhaust system that cost less than £200.
