It's amazing the amount of sharp edges and vertexes you can find on some expensive mechanical components. really is shocking coming from some companies that must run these through FEA and just say "good enough"

Will do
I wouldn't go any bigger than standard inlet on a JP4 unless you really have a good reason to do so.

New set of pro race 1.2 wheels and t1r tyres have arrived, mainly for the trips to track days, ring trips and the odd show...
Also means I can now run my r888's for longer

Ment to say to you that one in the boot needs using or least un strapping, as making marks on tryes.
