Oh okay :lol: Last year was like a 400% improvement then :p

If Lloyd's waiting till the end of the summer I'll just probably go earlier then, really curious as to what mine is putting out.. Wanna see how uhh, close to 33 it is :lol:

I thought you removed the restrictors. And it's not a stupid engine. It's very nice, easy to work on engine that give lots of pleasure. Are you feeling those vibrations. :lol:

I need to get mine on the dyno again shortly as I now have the Dr Honda's, lightened flywheel etc. Oh and my downpipe is back on the bike. :lol:

I intend to. I have an airbox here waiting to be gutted. Just haven't quite worked out where to put the catch tank. I think it will have to remain high to work effectively and I would like to maybe get something tucked up front if the snorkel don't get in the way. Also I seam to recall reading something about the hole in the side of the catch tank and being that close to the side of the airbox and pressure waves or something aiding in the function of the catch tank recycling misted oil back into the engine or something. :think: If I had silly money to spare I would be considering a NAG Crankcase pressure release valve.

I would like to find a cheaper one or home made one like benny did (not sure how precise his was or what parts he used) but I don't yet have the skill or knowledge on how to be going about making one.

Apologies for the thread jack.
