Man that's cheap considering how much it costs to do a 600cc conversion, let alone the cam/valves/etc.

Do want!

G'orn. Get it! Need something well-proportioned and something that handles after fiddling with that lard-arsed bus of a two-wheeled car you've got.

Fastest laptime through the pedestrian walkways of the University of Auckland. :whistle:

What sort of carb/filter does it have and has there been head work done?

bob181
14th April 2008, 15:36
Standard carb which has been rejetted with K&N air filter, opened top of air box. It doesn't run out of breath and will rev out to past red line quite happily, the standard carb set up doesn't breath which makes the GB seem very flat at high revs

The only work to the head has been the three angle seat cut for the valves and stronger valve springs to stop valve bounce.
