AVON Cobra Chrome works for me when I race or ride on the road.

I would have hoped Yamaha would make the 3rd Gen. What a shame there are v-max prototypes in 2.1lt, 2lt, 1900cc, 1800cc in existence and Yamaha will not make any of them.

The worst thing I ever fitted to my 1700 was a Barnett clutch, carbon clutch. I reported the faults to the agent they didn't want to help, I reported the faults to Barnett themselves directly more than a few occasions and they were NOT at all interested to help, what can I say LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER.

Hold on to the though of getting another bike, Bonneville sounded great, maybe you may consider going there to ride, I can tell you for the last few months I have been speaking to a UK company who are turbo specialists, they build land speed turbo bikes, I would like to get involved and race at...

Hi Mark, Doing some research on these tie down setups, I think I can make a good job of them myself in the workshop, I will try and machine a pair at some stage to try. thanks for the tip my friend.

Hi Mark, Thank you my friend, the answer is no, I have not yet run with the straps, can I ask how much of a difference it made on your time ? thanks

Thank you. F

This was 2018 Brighton Speed Trials results.

Not at the wheel if that's what you're thinking, approx at the crank. The mods are akra de-cat collector pipe, akra cans, airbox restrictor cover removed, K&N filter, reflash by Tim Nash. My top speed went from 145mph to 168mph.

The noise limit is 110db, I raced at Santa Pod Raceways a few times a year, I was there last Saturday and trying to get there this Saturday as well. I know quite a few people but only by face, we have quite a few turbo bikes racing there and some running Rotrex superchargers. I will make a note...
