    I know its been done before but I have now added the RCS to my ever increasing list of mods . Fitted late on Saturday then taken for a little spin on Sunday to try it out . Myself and two buds had a little bimble around all the great lanes and ended up at Whiteways Cafe near Arundel . Never been before but thats the fun of a rideout . Total mileage for the day topped out at 235 . Good fun was had by all ... :whoo:

    And finally finished the mod to the bellypan .. carbon to increase the width and another bit of Motografix "because I'm worth it" ... :tongue:

    Did you get it for a good price and how much of a difference did it make then?

    Yup .. it was £265 delivered from a friend who wishes to remain annonymous .. and it does feel better than the original one .

    I will get a better idea if it was a good investment on Wednesday and Thursday at Snetterton ... along with the set of Dunlop Sportsmarts that are going on .
    I have taken the advice of the knowledgeable ones on here and gone for the 190/55 rear and will report back on both upgrades .

    Answer to tony as well .. I had a couple of kits that I bought cheap on eBay that I have been using around the bike. If I see any year Blade kit at the right price I buy it

    Im also interested on how you get on with the RCS MC, was looking to get one fitted soon. Just not sure if its worth the cash. Did you go for the brembo clutch lever aswell?

    I have had some d211 gpracer tyres fitted at 55 profile and realy like them. It seems to be more precise and turn faster, maybe its just me. I will fit them again!!

    Nope not the TTX I have a Nitron Race shock that was raced at the TT last year .. top spec

    As for the Ohlins 30's as they come they are as harsh as hell (according to MCT)
    But lucky for me these were modified with an Andreani piston kit
