I should ask him the 'question' of suitability first.

I've just noticed he claims to live in a place called bolt on. Gotta be a scam

"12 sold" Are people out there
really that gullible?
Think I might start a line in go-faster bar end weights or something..

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

TBH I think the biggest problem would be getting the fuelling sorted out.

Yup!

Seven is better.. The extra weight in the middle lowers the centre of gravity making cornering faster..

I'm going to get some slippery gel sticky-backed panels made up and claim they aid aerodynamics and can add 20mph onto your top speed, then sell them to these bell-ends for £50 a sheet

I might be up for some ridicule here but why not? Ok so maybe you are not going to get an extra Bar but a couple of psi might be achievable and is worth having.
Not sure about the £ per Hp ratio and there are no before and after dyno charts.
