PM Bazza for converted Honda OEM ones.

Much cheaper than the others.

Roger Ditchfield, who tuned the VTR up to BSB level will tell you to leave the standard Honda parts in and not fit manuals, they are designed to cope with the variations I thermal expansion and engine revs. But we know they can fail, so the ultimate engineering solution is to keep what Honda and Roger recommend, but make sure it is protected incase it fails.




Oh and it cost feck all....what's not to like?

the guy I bought the bike off said roger had told him to keep the ccts exactly as they are too,

Christ Ive never thought about something so much in my life haha

also a possibility is to get the stopper mod done as I can do that straight away as its free, then fit manuals if the oem ones give us
