Lennies Rocket Sprockets 9 degree cam timing advance for BMW R series twins

Lenny's sprocket info - Pelican Parts Forums
Thinking about a set of Lennie sprockets should they become available but here's an unusual request. For my own purposes and just for something to do,
forums.pelicanparts.com
Looked into this back in the day. But I couldn't find any data on before and after evidence. Well, apart "chaps" saying it feel better.
I bought them after doing research My 2004 R1200GS is woefully low on torque to pull away from lights etc
Back in the day when I started the original rebuild of engine number one I had a thought about getting these and eventually I ordered a set and got them brought in from Australia
All the information that I had at the time pointed to better low-end torque which was exactly what I'm looking for If you want higher rpm higher BHP then you need to go for a hilltop tune
These for me were the solution I was looking for and it was a grade by everyone that I spoke to there was definitely an improvement in low end torque which meant less slipping of the expensive clutch mechanism
I hope in the next couple of months to be finishing off the new engine that arrived with crap valves after Gertie had a second valve drop when I missed a gear and the poor old engine had a catastrophic failure so much so it cracked and bent the piston and the conrod

Has anybody bought these recently? I’m interested in a pair, but it seems to be bank transfer only. Bit dubious.
