I have taken off the large G4 Challange plate from between the front headlights and replaced with a decal, this has helped by about 1-2mpg. I use it everyday to commute and play, some days she can put on 300miles, I just love it!:D Many thanks! BB

Group: Forum Member Posts: 3, Visits: 9	Hi Tim, :) Good point! I was only getting 20ish until the boys at Twisted did the business. Am thinking of switching to road tyres to help further and have even contemplated taking the roof rack off but this is proving to be more problematic due to the way the lighting loom has been rivitted to the underside of the alu platform. Any suggestions? Many thanks! BB
