Apex listing the kits at £96 is a bargain! Even if all the parts have come in from Japan (including the plugs & caps which total about ¥5500) then that's £70 BEFORE tax, import duty, shipping, and thier resale profit margin!
Also, I agree, you can use a top coil with an angled lower cap, but it won't fit inside the stock bodywork, and there is a possibility of contact between tyre and plug. Again, fine if you are happy to hack a hole in your V-piece or are using a GRP fairing lower, but I prefer the tidy approach.
So would you not recomend this mod then?
What power gains do you get .
Does it justify hacking up the bodywork aswell?
How did you get the YEN symbol up ?
