I'm real happy with it. The front end feels way better! Race Tech did the upgrades.

Damn that looks sick! what kind of seat is that? Looks like it says corbin but their twin tail seat has a bowl on top for the 2nd passanger? I don't recognize it, yours is built like a cowling I like.

The seat started out as a twintail from Corbin, many phone calls later, I convinced them to rebuild it into a Gunfighter wrapped in carbon leather. Comfy.

Pricing differs depending on what you have done,RT's website has the costs.
Kal the frame bracket is made by Banke performance(No more cracked heads).
Tdman, polish your triples.

Anodizing cost as much as the rebuild.
Got a few miles now, handling the turn in feels neutral now.

Did you use RT direct or through an Indy? I tried to contact them a few weeks ago to no avail.
