    That’s going to be a big improvement on your bottom rpm torque w/o needing a PC5. Rottweiler sells bolts (Ti or Stainless steel) to replace the O2 sensor at the correct length as to not intrude with exhaust pulses. Looking forward to hearing back from you regarding your impressions.

    Hitting the Pipe Catalogue

    Haha, that bike is for track only. So if I get caught with that one on the road then I’ll have other issues to answer.

    Hitting the Pipe Catalogue
