hum interesting , I was going to have the cam sprockets slotted and timed up and some porting done , so might be a idea to do this mod at the same time ,

can anyone tell me what sort of increase this mod gives , ie bhp , torque

well i have entered the world of the v twin , just got rid of my zx12r and got a 98 vtr with 17,000 on the clock , nice set of cans on it , what a noise love it lol , love the torque , i may track it yet
