Graves do most tuning parts, holeshot do some too. Depends if you want bolt on or up to turbo spec.
The R1 forum has some info on tuning too.

Did you order your kit from chris today then???

Fit a busa and forget modding the R1, it will be cheaper!!!

Hello mate. I'm quite new to the forum and haven't introduced myself yet but I've just about finished my shell so I'm in the market for an engine. Any ideas how much you want ?
