    Worth it??

    More importantly a lateral expansion of 500-1000 rpm in the torque.

    So far it's worth it just for the increased bottom end, it feels so much better grunting up that steep bit on the Maungatapu before the first bridge.

    The SuperTrapp is falling apart so I've put the standard pipe back on and will re-dyno next week - probably needs leaning off a bit.

    Looks like I'm running the same settings as "El Toad Man" on AdvRider.

    Yet to find out how far on a tank - 300km so far.

    Good stuff. You also might get gains on part-throttle settings, in terms of better response etc, that won't show up on a full-throttle dyno chart.

    Once cooneyr has a more definite confirmation i'd be prepared to go with that... restart the routesheet at St Arnaud if the sun shines or reguardless?
    Update... Sorry Nordie, neither Cooneyr or I are going to be able to do the last butt this weekend.
    Got a few distractions here at home to blame .

    Cool pics
    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

    Once you have left the coast on the way back inland then turn right.

    You need to head to stonyhurst road then turn LEFT into limestond road (farm track) at the stock yards
