[QUOTE="Kiwi_Tim, post: 105276, member: 3951"] Thanks for the feedback, Not totally sure what the motor spec is and there are some interesting but unsubstantiated rumors about that I hope to have some better insight into soon. It was apparently a detuned race motor prior to the 80's so runs 32mm mk1 amals, 2x front heads, KVFTT magneto. quite likely the race cam, but not hi comp pistons. It has developed a nasty oil burning problem that is going to necessitate a top end strip shortly. The back story for the bike that seems quite plausible given a number of parts on the bike... is that the box was ex lightning type (CR perhaps?). While I did mention top being a bit of an overdrive, the gears do all seem quite close and all tall. I do intend to get another club member to give me their opinion once I've resolved my inpromptu smokescreen issue. [/QUOTE]
