Honestly none that I could feel, I think once I get the one that sits underneath my car that will reduce flex more.

Since, I'm off today I also had time to install the cf stripe kit for the 4 door. Goes well with my other cf interior bits

Had the car at AWE for the past two days it was well worth it

All the suspension mods I did really complement all the new power. As far as the bay goes, still getting the new manifold worked on which prob won't be finished until H20. For wf I hope to have the new engine cover finished along with a few custom parts. Also still waiting on the weichers stuff from the eu. That's all I'm going to say for now.

Out of curiosity, where'd you get the universal fairing from? Been shopping around for a bit for one.

Side note: As someone who had worked in quite a few bike shops around some very expensive rigs, I would definitely suggest a fork mounted carrier. The general rule of thumb as I was taught was to never use mount that grips the downtubes or crosstubes unless the rack is worth more than the bike. Plus, the fork mount will be more stable at speed. Just some food for thought.

I got the rack free from vw, but I wouldn't mind trying to find a fork mount set-up, can I do that with a 20mm front fork?

Here you go on the fairing:
http://www.orsracksdirect.com/inno-r...61-ina262.html is it for a vw, if so get the longer bolts.

Totally. If you get a fork-mounted carrier, this adapter should set you straight. Thanks for the heads up on the fairing; Nice bike, by the way!
