[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 107547, member: 433"] I have received Norman's kit two years ago but didn't have time to finish the Comet due to work. At the moment I am doing many short laps trying to get the mikuni in as good as possible state of tune. First thing that I noticed was rolling down my drive way and breaking, the front dived, something completely new to me. On my test road I need to pass two sleeping police men. I did that with various speeds and there are also patches where the tarmac breaks up. The sleeping policeman when passed too fast [somebody with common sense would never pass them at that speed] will bottom out the forks. Contrary on the breaking up patches the bike is super smooth at any rate of speed, far better than before. Going round corners the bike behaves very good, just as she should. I can't feel any difference there. At the moment the bike is not registered, so my test rides are mainly on quiet back roads of degrading tarmac surface. There is certainly a noticeable gain in comfort on that type of road but speeds are limited due to condition to about 50 mph. I am really looking forward to get the bike registered and do my usual lap [around 50 miles] on proper roads, I will keep you informed once I have done that. Bernd [/QUOTE]
