The back of the housing just slides off

You have to give it a good tug but it just slides out

What do you mean you have messed it up?

Hi and welcome to the forum

I have ordered direct before https://www.nationalcycle.com/index.php ... ew/id/7298

Maybe try the UK suppliers to see if they can get you one in

I know which bolt you are talking about all you need is a tab welding on in the right place so you can attach a "U" Clip to it so you can bolt to that

Put them the right way for you

I had an R1200GS RTLE done by Hilltop about 6 years ago and it made a big difference, it was so much smoother than standard, I noticed it as soon as I got on the bike, not even out of the car park and I felt happy.

Not sure what's going on there! I will have a look and see if I can see anything

Yeah it's not always about huge power gains it's just about power in the right places and making them better at the lower revs

Thanks for the offer of a test ride but no need as I will be getting mine done regardless I just need to decide whether power commander or ecu

There is pros and cons to both

I was going to get a power commander on mine until I spoke to hill top motorcycles who claims the plugs are inferior and he refuses to work with them and recommends his own software. I have since read some stories about the claims he makes so now I am on the fence! Once mine has been in for the reca...

It's an inset nut that sits in a hole shaped the same as the nut to hold it still The trouble with this is that its a nylock and tends to turn the hold round so doesn't hold the nut and allows it to spin!
