Who made this system BritTwit ? Is it from John Snead ?

The system was made for John back in 2016 by one of his vintage racing buddies.
John said that the guy was from a Ducati race team out of Miami.
That's all I know about it.
I PM'ed John a few times to check in to see how development was going but didn't get a response back.
He was really busy with his CNC business and I guess was never able to get started building the system for sale.

Too bad, since I think he would be able to sell a few of these pipes to Commando owners.
If I send my ecu to SC-Delta to get it unlocked, I would love to have a set of these pipes for my dyno tuner to dial in with a new map.

I think there may be even a one off Norton watch for the V4SS made by Brietling.

Eduacated guess is a NO,or else we would have a few pics by now,& of course out of say 3000 new Norton’s built,most owners aren’t,but I’m sure it won’t be long for some to really Access their Norton

Unfortunately not, I still have a few months before I get mine. The plan is to take both the V4 and the Commando over to the Isle of Man TT next year so I need to get it run in before going for a blast over the mountain.

You wont need to run it in for that, with 210bhp on tap, half throttle will be more than enough...!

I'll need more than half throttle to beat last years speeds over the mountain.

Good guess but that was a friends bike. I did also ride my sons YZF125 over the mountain which was great fun trying to keep it pinned and not let off the gas but alas my my knowledge of the roads let me down and I failed miserably.

Seems only the 40 and up club can afford it. Stay safe, gents.
