The PR4s were on when I got it and only done 100 miles without turning a corner between fitting and me getting the evo. I’ll be honest I’ve ridden the bike twice since I picked it up and I would say so far they seem very good. I expected them to be more touring biased than they are and was very impressed with the way the tyres and bike felt on a spirited ride on some of my favourite local roads. Not sure what they’d be like on a track day and will have to give them a thrash in the Dales to see what they really do.

As for mods yeah I’m poised to do some stuff but want to keep it fairly understated, although with the noise I’m going to struggle, maybe a bit more carbon to match the termis, shock, ditch the pillion pegs but need a decent bracket and a really good clean/detail

You can't go wrong with an Evotech for £68. Great products and top customer service.

Best Mods are Rexxerr Flash for the ECU, reworked fork internals, they are to soft and the compression adjusters are useless, and a decent rear shock as it is way to hard and bad compression.

I also swapped out the Evo risers for a pair of lower 796 bar risers, puts more weight over the front and more comfortable on my back :-)
