And 15T or -1 front, pending what's on there now. Hoping to see if they can just switch the ECU to "map 2" over the original pre-programed emissions one, that seems to be a quick fix to new pipes.(and lots cheaper)

For all the criticism of hydraulic clutches, I really liked the one on that. When it wasn't leaking, of course.

**Update**

Bike is skipping the airbox, getting a PCIII/Tune, +2 rear to avoid wearing the chainguard near the swingarm pivot and fixing a stator wire. Apparently it was running like dog poop, so I should be in for a world of awesome after they get the PCIII and electrical figured out cause I thought this bike already had a set of balls on it. Damn AF1 rocks!

Guess I need to get my tires in order for the upcoming H2R Shootout followed by the fall trackdays.

I eagerly await the second review, why skip the evo though?

Apparently the previous owner DID have it on, and AF1 said he got about 1/2hp out of it and most of the other setups he's seen on their dyno benefited about as much. So I'd rather save my cash for a suspension rework in the future, and once it's got a ton of miles on it, rebuild with a 1060 or 1100 if they ever complete that.

You asked about skipping on the evo airbox right? The previous owner had that mod and it sucked. AF1 never saw major gain out of them in conjunction with the PCIII and most of the power came directly from a retune alone, so it was money not well spent. *Or in my case money well saved for future modifications.

There may not be a big performance gain with the air box, but the intake sound is sooo sweeet!!!
