Graeme France - All round good egg!!
Well it's taken 2 years to get the NC29 the way I wanted it, and did my first trackday on it last Saturday. So far it's had new fork internals, rear spring, HRC CDI unit, Stainless/carbon exhaust, wiring loom, race plugs, dynojet kit, K&N filter, BT090's and race rearsets - all supplied by Graeme France. In addition to this I'm running it as a total loss electrical system.
I've never met Graeme, but I've tortured the poor fella on the phone just about everytime I've been home to do work on the bike, and can only say from my experience that he's one of the nicest, down to earth and most knowledgeable person I've ever had the fortune of dealing with, NONE of my idiotic questions phased him and he talked me through EVERYTHING I've done to the bike, practically holding my hand.
We did a dyno run locally with the bike and got 44bhp (drastic) but after a 10 minute call to Graeme and a bit of fiddlng the next run did 64bhp.
There's no real point to this thread other than to thank him for ALL his help and let all you good people know that he's one of those one in a million genuine nice guys who really knows his onions. Anyone needing anything for their beloved CBR would do well to give him a call first, you cant put a price on what he's done for me in terms of back up and tips.
So cheers Graeme, I owe you a pint and we'll talk about discount soon!!!!!!!
And for the rest of you, Trackdays are soooooooo the future, I'm hooked.

Royster, I'm a ham fisted technophobe, if I knew how to post pics on here I'd surely do it. Better still I'll email them to you and YOU can do it!!!
I'll look into how you go about it and post them up here if successful, cant say fairer than that.
