It'll be interesting to see if the cars at the NEC bike show have a new setup , It starts this weekend but I'll be going the weekend after. It wasn't any different on the display cars at last weekends Classic Car show, so I doubt there will be any change until next month onwards, post world-wide dealer meeting. If at all..

The revised suspension was on the factory car that starred in the recent Albert Ball memorial run video, so fingers crossed it might appear on the stand at the NEC Bike Show.

No personal experience of the converted car, merely working on the assumption that I trust the feedback from The Converted and that it can hardly make the issue any worse!

The only car available with the Empire kit at the moment is mine, and as I am on my hols. in Western Australia until just before Christmas, poor old Bill Chaplin at Empire, who didn't anticipate a demand for kits initially, hasn't got the original one to make jigs from yet.
I will be getting my kit off the car after christmas, and over to him, so expect a batch of 10 to be made in mid Jan or early Feb. I am happy to coordinate a bulk buy, but obviously all payments etc will go direct to Empire Racing. If you are interested and haven't already let me know, do get a pm back to me and I will be happy to put your name on the list, if you change your mind, later, it won't matter until he is ready to actually start making kits, when he will probably want a firm commnitment, maybe a deposit?
You will have to take my word that it really does make a diffence, not only is the steering lighter, but far more importanly, when a front wheel hits a pot hole, ridge or bad bit of road, it doesn't kick back through the steering wheel any more. There is still a small amount of movement, due to either the 19" wheels or the king pin angle offset not being optimised, but nothing can be done about that, and it doesn't really spoil the driving experience.
I've fallen in love with my car all over again.

I'm sitting in Margaret River right now, but directly after breakfast, we'll be leaving for north of Perth for the night, aiming for Canarvon, and onto Exmouth before turning around, leaving around thge 15th - 16th Dec.
Great trip so far, via Esperance, Albany and Augusta. Whilst I know that you've had a bit of heat in Perth, the weather down south has been unseasonably cool.
