ETR 69 needs

Six speed gearbox.
Slipper clutch, not a pipe and slipper's.
And some of them big fat headers.

I want, I want, I want, everything all the others have got.

It's a good start having a hole bike already this year but I need all the bits, I do. I can't possibly challenge for the top without everything. Can I ?

Before someone comes on saying you don't need everything you can do it with skill. Bol***x I haven't got the skill to do it that way, I need all the bits like the others.

What's a slipper clutch worth to a lap time lads?
Or a six speed box?
I don't think the header make much difference but they make the bike look meaner and intimidate anyone with a skinny pipe.

About 1 second slower than a 5 speed.

A couple of questions for you (I've answered them too)...

Q. How much faster were you at Cadwell in October, compared to March?

A. March = 1:56.2
October = 1:51.7

Q. What did you fit to the bike in between???

A. **** all

Just keep riding the bike Eric, tracktime and experience will make you faster than slippers and a crutch.

Absolutely agree with that 100%.................

Geoff won last year with no slipper and 5 speed.....i jumped on the bike for the first time in a race and got pole and 2 second places....

No slipper.. ( unless u call a slipping clutch a slipper lol )

and a 5 speed box................!

they will make no difference to your times or speed dude....!..unless you have reached your absolute max then perhaps start looking for additional bling to help.?.....and i know you got plenty more in ya yet.....
