Theyre great. They're more responsive it seems, it fixed my initial 10-7-5 problem with the moo sound, and the transition is almost not even there anymore i barely feel it. its literally like a 12-11-12 pattern until my secondary bleeds off and that 11psi transition is literally like half a second and its done.

Thank you for your review. I hope these solenoids will help many out there and put a smile on their face once they have these installed =).

*** Update ***

Just got into a motorcycle accident yesterday, therefore even if we fill up the last spot on gb#5, I will NOT be able to get back into work until next week. (I was the moto rider). Dumb SUV driver abruptly cut me over causing me to rear-ended his car. My 09 R6 is now total T___T.

Thank God my injuries were not that severe as I should be healed up and ready to work next week.

As for Spam@FC, I believe I would have to ship your kit out next week when I get back to work. I apologize for this inconvenience, I will get it out to u asap.

Thanks all!

helmet, jeans, had a jacket but majority of it was ripped off as you can see. my tennis shoes were in the fast lane still lol. dislocated my shoulder and 3 fingers. Went into the median and hit a blown tire and ripped my helmet off. I got to my knees, tried texting someone that i wrecked and couldnt use my left arm lol. got up and started looking for my shoes. I was reported dead by some passerbys so when i started walking to my bike with my helmet and shoes in my hands and people started asking if i found the guy yet i didnt know what the **** was going on lol. tried picking the bike back up and riding it home but it was tore to ****. thats what happens when your riding about 75 and get cut off IN THE FAR LEFT LANE by a box truck running 45 with about 30 ft to spare. No matter how good your brakes or riding skills are theres not a lot to do. It was either plow the back of the truck jerk right and risk laying down into the middle lane in light traffic, or dodge left and bail lol. i dodged left and bailed evidently.

Wow crazy story, glad you came through.
Bikes are scary. I guess not so much the bikes but other people driving next to you...
Whenever I see a biker, I always let them pass, move to the side on traffic, etc. because I know how exposed they are.

thanks guys. I will be home this week, and body aches and neck pain. Gonna see my doctor this week and see what's up. Damn people need to learn to see and not change lane habitually. I saw the whole thing happening, and nothing I could do other than bailing out at the very last moment.

Right ankle, knee and thigh bruised and scrapped. Ambulance arrived and I was sent to the hospital for routine check-up. Couldve been worst but thank God I am ok!

TinMan, damn bro you look f*cked up. I am glad you are ok though. Ride safe and AGATT(all gear all the time)!!!

Hi Eric,

Definitely keen on the rack. Just want to make sure you're willing to ship internationally first before I add my name to the GB? I'm in New Zealand

Lol glad i motivated someone to start working on their stuff. Not trying to hijack this thread, but my solenoids might be going up for sale soon along with my BNR stage 3 twins. Found a deal on a single i might be switching to.
