cheers
Robert
Robert,

I have not had a chance to dyno since the Greddy and 5 Bar but I made 640 to the rear wheels at 1.3 bar so I should be over 700 to the rear at 1.6.

I've had mine up to speed twice, and by some weird coincidence both times I backed off at exactly 152mph according to the GPS. I was not looking at the speedometer either time, but rather concentrating on the road.
