Not a TRX rider YET, but certainly a TRX owner. Should be back soon from some serious tuning:
Over Cam
Over 870 big bore
Head by Cosworth engineer
FCR's
Balanced crank
USD WP forks.
6 pot Billets.
320mm PFM.
So hello from a Visordown refugee

Welcome to the forum.
Just don't spread any of that stuff around here!
BTW, why 6 pots? Damned things are over rated and moody. They don't have very good feel and often wear the pads uneven.
Also, how many MotoGP machines (or SBKs, for that matter) do you see using them these days? In fact even the staged diameter leading / trailing four pots have gone to a single bore.
But if you've already spent your money on them, just ignore this post!

I think you're probably talking about the kind of 6 pot you find on GSXR1000's and old FZR's, in which case, I agree. However, these are made by Billet and very shiny and therefore superior

It's just another TRX, nothing really to look at.
Oh, I forgot, it also has a Full Acropovic system.

Completely watertight argument that one.

Nothing wrong with a bit of BLING!
