Woody,
I bought one of your VBAK kits from you a while back, but haven't had time to install it due to work commitments overseas...
Had the bike off the road when I was last home though (having the rear mudguard widened at a local shop..), so I took the opportunity to remove the tank and install your kit, along with the AIS removal, at the same time...
To anyone out there contemplating this mod, JUST DO IT!! What a difference it makes to the breathing of the bike...it pulls harder now, feels 'unrestricted'...and sounds great.. What seems like a daunting task, really isn't that hard... just follow the instructions step by step...(I also printed off and used the excellent instructins posted on the site by 'Redhorse', which made it even easier)... Just take you time and label everything up as you go along and you can't go wrong...my bike must also be a good few pounds lighter with all the 'unnecessary bits' removed...!
Thanks Woody (and Richard)....
Chillo
