Well done in getting the Moriwaki lump fitted and running, you certainly didn't hang around there
As Lloydie said, I didn't expect you to wait until winter before you fitted it either
Thanks for the pic's
Chris.

well this is the end of this chapter...last night i was blown away..
so tonight i fitted the engines own carbs.its modded airbox ,its fliter (k&n) trumpets and went for a spin..
last night is was fast as i needed. tonight.
im still grinning, a different animal. you can hear the airbox taking great dirty gulps of air and ,well its stupid on the road. its picking the front up when i dont really want sh1t like that happening...
..
the wee kinda pause if you could call it that around 5k is gona. it starts pulling hard about 3k and just dives for the redline...
hard to explain the change other than it revs like a 2 stoke.
iv went from happy to. wtf am i doing lol...
the END....

Fabio you are one lucky dude.
I would love to hear the sound as you crack on with the throttle.
Could you please post some pics of the airbox etc.
What a lovely bike and how good it must feel to have breathed life into a piece of VTR history.
Absolutely Bloody Fantastic mate !
Now have a few of these to celebrate

i will indeed. and over the moon on all counts. the best bit is shuttimg the throttle going into roundabouts
its like a pair of shot guns going of at times.... no flat spots no waiting around for it to pickup and the pugs are a nice light tan colour..
