Whole heartedly recommend it.The profile has been changed slightly and you get more rubber on the ground. I have done a couple of updates since putting on my new tires in another thread, guess its time to take some more pics and write a bit of a review..... 05 Speedmaster,Reverse Cone Shortys,Thunderbike AIR Kit,K&N Air Filter,Snorkel Removed,Dynojet Stage 1 Kit(126 main),Needle-Clip 1 From Bottom,42 Pilot,NGK Iridium Plugs,Progressive Springs,Hagon 2810's,Barnett Green Springs,TTP Safe-Start,MOSFET R/R
