      Patiently following this πŸ™‚

      If you will , try to also reinforce the internals of the motor by putting beefier parts though, more power more responsibility πŸ˜‰

      Things like better bearings, new cam chain , clutch pack, sparing no expensive to motul oil, and what not.

      When I brought the bike it had a bottom end knock turned out the Conrod bearing had gone allowing the piston to to come down a little further and smashed rear piston my cheapest and best option was a 2nd hand bottom endΒ  with pistons for Β£60 I now have my mint condition bottom end with no crank that I will be reinforcing ready for when all the other mods are made and showing successful gains

      Then came the air intake bigger main jets and stainless bolts for the carb … Whild doing this I thoroughly cleaned the carb and lifted the needles to the bottom notch to compensate the change in airfuel ratio at low to mid throttle

      Top Yoke Decal – If i know a UK maker i will let you know or i may just do it because someone from the US actually wants to do it but i told him i’ll think about it. It was going to be a new shop item on a limited run to see how they fair up in popularity.

      I think they will sell out well it’s a let down to the bike with that massive silver yoke considering most GT are black frame ect … One with a red R to go with the badges would set it off I reckon
