Hi Rusty, As you say" I don't thrash it, in fact it's rare I go over 7-8k rpm." I, and Mike will doubtless agree, a slip-on Ivan's conversion will suit you fine, as I am a similar rider to yourself, and found it fantastic. If you would like the R1 gear change conversion, if you send me a £12 cheque, you are welcome to mine (I found it a bit heavy on my left boot) so I have now removed it. I am not anxious to sell it, but if you would like it, you are welcome to it.
