Yes, i have a PC3 USB with them. They are very, very loud it must be said. As far as bhp gains not too sure but they sound glorious and that is all that matters to me!! Still need to get it to a dyno and have them set up properly though.

I'm having the suspension done on the SP2 in the New Year, thinking about having some cans put on at the same time .... Hmmm, we'll see.

I do like the look of the Harris ones !

Where are you getting the sussies done then, and what are you planning to do?

I have just returned mine to the stock settings (the previouse owner has everything on rock solid.... I can now feel the back shock doing something other than trying to hammer the seat up my jacksie :roll: (and I am not a lightweight either....God knows how the previous owner managed!)

It looks like ill be going to see a chap in Wiltshire called Mark Hammond, he owns MH Racing.

I’m having an Ohlins rear shock, and then most probably Ohlins front forks aswell. If the Mrs decides to spend all my money on shoes, then ill have to settle for a front fork revamped which consists of Ohlins springs, shims, valves, oil, etc.

In all honesty, its not actually that bad !
The Ohlins shock and front fork internals will be about £900, and the full Ohlins shock and forks wont leave me much change from £2,000.

I wouldn’t mind some cans, but to be honest im content with the volume and sound the standard produce make on the SP2.
If I did, id go for some Harris, Akropovics or even some Blue Flames, just depends on what’s around at the time.
