Simon_ed will be your man as he had one on his old moto that I assume he bought from them

I never asked when I rode their bike as I never thought I might want to buy one..but I guess I do sometime in the future!

mike at BMC contact me back today and informed me of the different levels of kit they do and iv gone for their airbox (replica of the HRC one) with the scoop that goes down to the radiator then when funds allow il get the extension to the front fairing and ally protusion piece

It is a streetstock bike afterall so should at least be recognisible as a vfr with no massive scoops in fairing etc (well as much as a vfr can look like a vfr with a 250gp seat and rvf fairing lol)

Cheers guys

I think the prices are as follows

airbox's are £90
full ducting kit is £110 (all 3 pieces)
each bit of ducting on its own are £45

so if you want the whole kit its £200

dont quote me on those prices as I may be mistaken but I think thats how it is.

its a bit more than that kit graeme had tony but sadly it not availble anymore and that was a bargain. + I know this kit works a treat as proven by Si and the BMC boys

If this is any use to you,

I ran a scoop from Chris N. Some modified carbs and a fuel pump for the ram-air that I ran and I can't see it much different that anyone elses set-up.

As Rhory told you weeks (maybe months) ago, get in touch with Chris, as he helped me out a lot with it. PM me what you need to know about the basic set-up and run it from there. Read my post below and see how I set it up and ran it,

I talked to a guy at plum pudding racing a vfr with dynopro ram air on it and he said chris also does a big airbox that is virtually the sze of the underside of the tank, so much bigger so im gona contact dynopro and see how much they want for the scoop and this big box

viper the reason I asked about the BMC one is if im gona spend a fair amount (for me anyway) on a kit and getting it setup im gona look at getting a bigger box to get as much power out of it as possible as I wont be able to afford to get it reset up in the near future should I get a bigger box then.

saying that this guys vfr had 72bhp with a dynopro ram air kit like yours light head work programable cdi and a modded stock system to make it a twin stack (looked like the ANR one) so not bad power
