    Well, after purchasing the RaceFit Black Edition yesterday at the NEC, I couldn't wait to fit it, so as soon as I got in from work it was out into the garage.

    Started the bike once I'd fitted it........OMG ! ! ! Brilliant. A much deeper sound than my Modified Stock Exhaust which is more raspy. Didn't rev it much though, didn't want to piss of the whole estate. And a bonus was it fitted perfectly with no issues at all. Downloaded a base map into it until I get it mapped, It will be interesting to see if it produces more or less than my mapped and modified (Totally Gutted) Stock Exhaust.

    The other bonus, is I'm impressed how close the colour is to the frame and swinging arm........ wasn't expecting that. Still got to put the RaceFit Stickers on, but thought that can wait until I'm wide awake, don't fancy getting them at an angle.

    Exactly what RaceFits boss told me, even though I told him I had a Power Commander 5 fitted, he told me not to bother and insisted that it fuels perfectly on a standard map. I've just downloaded PC V's standard map, with O2 Sensor Eliminator and your right, once she'd warmed up the idle was fine.

    LIGHT..... I thought it was made of plastic when he handed it to me, it's unbelievably light.

    When I went to use my stand after a ride out I hunted high and low for them till I realised I must of lost em on the ride.

    Exactly what I was thinking, and it sounds much better in reality.
