Mainly for track days, I am 6'1" and 100 kg, should fit but will be snug.

Really fancy the idea of BEC, pity it has no brake bias control and is not dry sumped. What is the best option regarding dry stumped to improve reliability?

hi,i have a sylva striker and i,m 6ft and 102kgs. so you should fit in ok in an mk,being a larger seven type. as for dry sumping a fireblade, unless you are doing lots of track days and driving it like you have stolen it,most people just overfill with oil slightly. its personal preference and costs involved.

Not sure what year the engine is, but by "Dynojetted" I assume it is a 'carbed 893 or 919, early unit. They dont need a dry sump, or baffle even. You won't break it if it's healthy and full of oil and water. Awesome engine, and in my opinion the old 'carb blade makes the best noise of ANY bike engine!
