Probably the long stacks. Makes the midrange jump well. No the high rise pipes. No stick coils. I used to be indecisive, now I'me not so sure.

Does the fuelling need adjusting with the long stacks?? If its as simple as that to get more grunt surely everyone would do it ??

It really has a pleasant effect on the midrange, no rejetting done on mine. If you watch out for them you can pick them up really cheap. Buy them, bolt them in and try it.

That would be tempting. Outright horsepower is a waste of time but midrange is useful. Surely theres a trade off ?? Else why isnt it standard.

That would be too predictable old fruit. I prefer to snipe when least expected.... :Whistle:

I have'nt found it if there is. I don't spend time at the higher end of the speedo, there isn't the space most of the time, but the pick up from low down is improved.
Just keep an eye out for a pair from an airbox. I think I paid about £7 for mine, and for that if you don't like them you can move them on.
Some folk have bought the Ali Dr Honda stacks, like in the recent photos of Martys bike. They are an expensive alternative but probably (hopefully!) give a better result.

fabbri db screen.

sounds like a bland mod but believe me the extra tall hump adds a load to the top end and makes it very easy to ride 130+

closely followed by a 15t front cog.

Well if that does not include updating things like CCT's and RR, without a doubt (easy decision) it would be Noisy low down frequency cans. Let those cagers know you are coming!
