Today I've change the 865 cam for 665 cam hoping to make it a safe cam in case the belt snaps. But what I have achieved is a bike that runs much smoother than it did before. I have now lost the sputter/stutter that I was getting at 65/70mph. If I have lost any performance I can't tell to be honest it pulls up to 90mph then its starts to wobble and my arse starts to twitch I don't think the T63's help much. On the run to the dragon and back I averaged 35mpg I hope this will improve as well. I will give it a wash tomorrow and put a few photos up.
Cheers Gary.

Probably MT Pockets creation. Quite a few of us have got them. Much better when stood up for long periods off road.
