Strange, not got them on my 3EN1 and I always thought the frames were the same :|
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Similar - the visual difference is the horizontal bar that runs from where the subframe bolts on to the main frame rail, they cut it out of the 3en2

Does it have a rubber face? I'd say it's a sound deadening thing, there to damp out any resonance in the frame from the airbox/intake and keep road noise down :geek:

yes it does have a rubber face, and i was thinking it was for sound deadening.....

if that's the case iill leave it out and remove the other one..but put them in my trackday spares box, just in case it does get all flexy on me!
