[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 109385, member: 2806"] There's no danger of that happening. My self-imposed (or self-inflicted) approach to old motorcycles is to keep them as original as possible, within reason. The "within reason" gives me the wiggle room to put a Concentric on a Gold Star, but not a Mikuni. I also enjoy (mis)applying modern technology to old motorcycles, but to make them work up to the full potential of their original designs and components, not to "upgrade" them. My approach gives me the flexibility not to paint myself into originality corners, but ensures I get the full "old bike experience" when riding those machines. Other bikes given me EFI, electric start, disk brakes, etc. when I want a different experience. It actually would be quite straightforward to answer. Someone with a modified pipe like mine, where the sensor barely protrudes, checks the AFR at all throttle settings, then slips a Bunsen valve over the end of the pipe, and checks again. The wording with "someone" and "like mine" wasn't accidental. It's easy to get lured down some else's rabbit hole when you still have plenty to do down your own. [/QUOTE]
