[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 15269, member: 485"] Hello Shawn, A few years ago I would have loved to have that challenge, You have all the big bits you need. Don't worry too much about the tune of the engine, The Lightning was not too hot,I have been running L/ning spec' engines for 40yrs on the road. I have found the carb's may be the only problem. If you do a lot of traffic work 28 or 30mm carb's might be better, you don't show what you have. I have just took T.T. carb's off one of my bikes and put 28mm concentrics Mk1, Because I now live where speeds are slow, It is nice to have a tickover and the standard clutch works better, But the bike still go's like stink !!. Good Luck Bill. [/QUOTE]
