Clearly I’m going to be a tad biased, but yes to all the above! The Maxton suspension was set up for me by Perry at HM, his work plus the 15mm longer and very much lighter swing arm, wheels and sub frame make it as flickable as a 125, with 1100 grunt. The GPR4X brakes and Brembo master cyclinder make stopping as much fun as the going, I have yet to ride anything with a better front brake. The rear is still pants, even with a 916 master cylinder and updated calliper. I’m stuck on a solution for that...any suggestions gratefully received!

I like my bike too much to properly cane it, but its as quick as I’ll ever want it to go on public roads. None of the mods I have done have overtly been about making it anything other than a project bike that’s been a joy to own and ride.
