    Hi picked one of these but tried it on my R 50 and R 52 and on both causes the bonnet to sit up slightly do people cut the sound insulation to fit the brace ?

    Sound insulation = weight, so take it off and go faster!


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
