OK, uprated MT mounts fitted. The effect? Not staggering, but enough. Takes out all the left/right slop and changes are now more 'switch-like'. The best compliment I can pay is that changing gear is now something I just forget about, whereas before I was constantly aware of the notchiness and poor change quality.

Bear in mind though that mine is MSport spec, which I believe has a shorter throw and stubbier knob than the SE as standard, so the effects might be different with another model.

Worth the money? Hmmmm maybe - useful mod, but probably a bit overpriced for what they are. Just my five penn'orth...

Next job...replace the CDV valve!
