Re: WANTED: transmission tunnel parts

I am seeking the piece of steel that fits to the front of the seat box and then the next piece forward for a Stage One 109 (what else?). I would need part shipped to Huddersfield in the UK.

get rid of the twin carbs for starters :wink: then get electronic ignition :wink: If you are one of the purists, then you will need to have the carbs balanced, probably needs to be done by a professional. but ask them to set your mixture at around 5-6% carbon monoxide as for ignition timing, if you ...
