[QUOTE="davidd, post: 28974, member: 1177"] I do not think there is a definitive answer to the question. Small choke carbs work better at lower RPM and larger choke do well at higher RPM. The Mk II cams work well at 4000 to 6000 rpm and less well below, but so many owners use them on the street that their street performance must be acceptable. They also work better with no silencer. If a silecer is used a 105 cam is probably a better choice. A Comet would gain an advantage by spinning up higher than a twin due to its design, but many prefer lower RPM riding. The jetting and the cut-away would seem to me to be very machine specific items. They depend in great part on the bike's silencer, pipe, and cam. I think many of the Comet riders can supply general information that will be very close, which is a good place to start. Nobby has a great deal of experience with singles and I believe he is generous with any specific information. Once Kevin decides on his preferences and the equipment I think that he will have plenty of help. David [/QUOTE]
