I recently purchased a set of Lennie's sprockets for my R1200GSA, there are lots of write ups on these to be found on ADV Rider, the consensus is good. They retard the cam timing 9 degrees to shift peak torque down the RPM range. What this does for the motor is subtle but noticeable and from my perspective good!
The bike delivers a smoother more consistent acceleration from low rpm roll on.
Anyway why am I telling you this? Well the sprockets are made by Mark who is based in Melbourne but will be visiting Perth this week. I invited Mark to catch up with club members on Sunday over coffee at Cats. This was before I signed up for the BMW off road course this weekend. Anyway I will try and arrange for a club member to meet up with Mark and bring him along to Cats on Sunday so he can meet the crew and answer any questions if there are others interested in a set of sprockets ($150).

Anyway look up Mark's website http://www.boxer-performance.com/products.htm and then check out ADV Rider if you want to know more.

I could sell you an early harley davidson advance/retard setup and you could adjust the timing as you ride :P

Some further feedback for those who may be interested
I have had a set of Lennie's Cam Sprockets fitted to my R1200GSA (2009) for a little over 1000km
in this time the difference they make has become very apparent and it is great!
The bike just pulls away effortlessly and I find I don't need to change down as often as before. For example turning a 90 degree corner in a normal residential street I realized that unless I was thinking about t I was not changing down but taking the corner in 4th with the bike pulling happily from 30km/h with no shudder or hesitation. Its much smoother, no snatching in the throttle response at all. Overall I am very pleased and for me it was a very worthwhile addition.

Cheers
