Results are as claimed and expected.
I bet you have a big smile on your dial now.
As far as pricing is concerned I am finalising things with Foster Performance and will know the results with a phone call tonight.
Thanks again Owen.

No probs mate, your sprockets have given the R12RT the grunt it should have had from the start, it now feels like a 1200cc twin. BMW really should re-evaluate how they tune bikes for different markets, top end HP may be appropriate for German autobahns but for the rest of the world it’s not the most important criteria on a bike like the RT. Most people want low and mid range torque to pull a passenger and luggage around in an effortless manner, the R12 motor is capable of delivering the goods, BMW just need to tune it right.
I am not only impressed with the performance of your product but the manufacturing tolerances seem very good as well, they are a nice press fit on the cams. Good work mate.
