yes mate you will find it will run better with the chip mine felt underpowered with the normal chip in(felt flat low down) also i drilled my subframe all the way through put a long bolt with two nuts on the end because of the vibrations it ripped my original threads out of the frame no problem now though:devious
also my indicators are integral with my l.e.d s but be aware if breaking you cant really see the indicators but hey ho who fooking cares:thumbup
looks cool.............
forgot there is about 4mm gap on mine near the batt box make sure it doesn't touch have been none to melt.... just put a couple of washers on to bring the pipes down slightly

Thanks m8, yeah, will bung the chip in tomorrow and take a run up to Knockhill to see about getting it Dyno'd.
Good point about the battery box. On the left side, I used slightly less washers to space the can and hanger as it was proving impossible to get the threads on the bolt to catch. Will add a few washers tomorrow to bring it down a few mm. Ta for the tip.
Maybe hes busy with the wife again ..... and I quote
"my wife can hear me coming on a still day, thats nearly a mile and a half away" :love

Cheers m8. :thumbup
Another slight issue I had today whilst out for a blat was trying to keep my right boot on the footpeg?. Slid off a few times, but I guess that's something you just adjust for over time until you get used to the Rene's?.

No idea m8, is there a difference between normal Rene's and Comp ones?.
Not got any rearsets on either, just standard pegs with carbon heelplates.
I figure I will get used to it, but wanted to check with you veteran Renegade owners!!! :biggrin

No stamps here m8, the baffles have BS marks stamped into them although I have no intention of fitting them. :biggrin
The chip I have is not a Renegade one, its a RHEIN TECHNIK one that I have heard a few folk say are rubbish and a few folk say are pretty good.
Will swap it out for the standard chip tomorrow or Thursday depending on what time I have spare.

I think we all have that problem. Just don't take 'em off too often.
I bought some heat reflective tape to stick on the outerside of the battery box. As it's silver it doesn't look too bad. you don't even notice it either. Unfortunately, you can't get away with the stuff from DIY places as that's just like bubble wrap. You need to get some from specialist suppliers. Nice and cheap but the wife (mine) was still at home when it was delivered. I'm sure you know what I mean.
The position I've got my indicators in was the extreme extent of the existing cable. Anywhere else and I would have had to put in an extention.
The issue of your right foot, it's something you have to get used to. After 2 months now It's still peeing me off. So much so I'm seriously thinking of ditching the system and reverting back to the original one.
RSV_ecosse. Have you got used to the right foot position now?I have fitted some today and know what you mean. Have tried to look for some longer and /or lower pegs but no luck there. :dunno

I just bought one of these myself. Bit of luck really. Stopped at the Abergavenny bus stop for a cig while on the Chepstow-Abergavenny ride. A chap with a gen 1 had one on his.. He mentioned he may be selling it so I gave him my number with strict instruction to ring me first. He did a couple of months later and they arrived a couple weeks ago. Got the system and cans for a song £200 inc delivery :banana

Yeah, I'm used to it now m8. Still slips off on a few rare occasions now and again though. Willing to put up with it to be honest!
I found some lower pegs on eBay 30mm drop. Best bit is the set the peg out slightly so my foot sits more on the peg rather than the end. Also drops my size 12s so the heat sheild is in the right place

Can' seem to get it to link. In eBay type in Aprilia adjustable footpegs 1998. They are made by M factory and different extension lengths available. I went for 25 mm and think they are about right. Too long and I think there would be issues with the brake reach.
