I'm bored as well Steve so here goes...!

Can't say I agree with your comments there...I mean where do you draw the line? As a racer you will know better than anyone that its all about how the bike feels and rider confidence.

Every little helps, and with a Powercommander, they do have a good reputation for sorting out how well the bike runs...which may or may not be an issue in this case?

And as for not needing the 'extra power' etc...I believe you recommended recently changing from a stock 525 chain to a 520 on a Duke...because it will 'spin up quicker'...and therefore increase performance. How miniscule would that increase in performance be!!!!

You could carry this discussion on for ever...I mean...do you really need an uprated Master cylinder, or lighter wheels blah blah blah...not really, but if it make the bike handle sweeter and the owner happy...everyones a winner.

This reminds me of the thread about how much of the bikes potential do you use...lets not go there again!!!
