the original chip will run ok, but the dedicated chip would run better

perhaps ask if keef still has his - and is it for sale?

do not buy one of the uber ones advertised on evil bay etc - please please ask her for the run down on assorted chips :)

and yes, I have also heard that the gabro chips are very worth while - but do all the mods that you want to do before you commission one as it will be done to your bikes mods


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Ok, Got the cans, double bubble, handbook, side stand and anodised reservoir caps just need a chip, rear shock and bellypan.

Good job I'm keeping this standard :smt017

Rich shock ? :smt017
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
