Hey Mospeada,
Thanks for the praise, you're very kind! I know how expensive the mag is over there too, so thanks again... There is actually an option on the superbike website to get the magazine delivered in electronic form, which is a fair bit cheaper I think. Here's a link:

Apparently here in the UK, sales of full systems are falling, folk are just fitting end cans. They only want the sound and the looks, there's no real need for the extra power from a system. Plus they cost £1500...
My bike is in getting a bracket made up for a supercharger at the moment. Using a US-made ProCharger -
www.procharger.com and aiming at about 350bhp to start with. Woohoo!
