Thanks guys, I think the pedal box sounds right for me, can I ask how your insurance felt about it ? as it obviously does not increase the power output but would be classed as a performance mod. And will it effect my gap policy if fitted ?

My insurance company didn't have a clue what it was so just made a note on the policy that it had been fitted.
I've no idea on how the gap insurance would look at it, never gave that a thought!

My insurance company (DirectLine) didn't know what it was either, so I explained and it was added to the policy, which reduced by £1.80, lol.  The guy that dealt with it thanked me for enlightening him and said he was off to research if such a thing existed for motorbikes as his bike throttle response was rubbish.  :grin:

He's riding the wrong motorbike then! Oh and buy the pedalbox, it's brilliant.

He did say it wasn't the best motorbike he'd ever had!

Their website has turned into a little bit of a dogs dinner in places.

http://www.diesel-performance.co.uk/systems_available.php?id=4200

Click on the pedal box option and make sure the tuning box is un-ticked or buy a tuning box too!  :laugh:

It says save £50 online but the code GTD80 should work on there still which will save you £80 bringing it to £149 ish plus postage.

There's an option to put in a discount code right above the product listings.

Thanks, I thought it was just me.
Seems a decent price after the discount :smiley:
PS
