There'll always be someone who could ride my bike better than I canĀ

I ended up wanting the Ivan's thing done because, like you, I'd heard so many good things about it. They turned out to be true.
I then got the R6 shock done, as it was obvious that standard shocks were pants (and tired by this time on most examples), and it definitely wanted the handling tidying to cope with the extra the Ivan's mod gave it.
Then I started to find (real or imagined) that being able to push harder showed up some weakness at the front end, which I'd never before found. Put it off for a while due to financial constraints, but got Luke to do the R1 fork conversion when he had this modified pair in and money was available. My God, what a transformation. Combined with the Ivan's and rear shock, I now can't fault this bike, suits me perfectly, better than any has done before, and I've been through a few different bikes in my time. I never want to sell this one though.
