I installed my MACE 1.9 ratio rockers on the weekend, Pretty happy with them :)
Better power/torque from the motor with the other mods i already had, also sounds like my exhaust tone on idle has changed the slightest, Like it sounds lumpier :)

I am also writing up a 'How to' on installing the rockers, so that will be up in a couple days.

I might stop the mods on the vt soon and leave it as it is, Im looking at buying a VH SL/E to restore and enjoy. We shall see what happens :)

Im on the hunt for a set of pacemakers and a Y pipe to suit, So if anyone knows or sees any for sale please let me know :)
Also been thinking of hooking up a oil catch can as i have seen a setup on the v6 here on the forum somwhere!
Im sick of all the oil vapour getting sucked back into the manifold and making a mess! Anyone had experience with a catch can on the v6?

Got my self a set of vt calais chrome strips and window strips today :) Looks quiet nice now, I also have a pair of chrome calais grills on there way this week.
Just on the look out for a calais rear garnish with the chrome strip and maybe even chrome exterior door handles :)

Took my time wirewheeling them back because the paint had mostly come off over time, then just got some VHT header/ceramic coating paint in flat blue and painted them up with the cat and Y pipe being mat black.
