We can always make you a copy , now that we made the specs for first one , its easy .

I was far more interested in the motor set up, Ive only race, ridden a basic standard version which hits very hard and wheel spins to much so you put a huge Tyre on them and then they steer even worse. With a new modern ignition and pipe / carb set up I'm sure you could cure allot of that. For me thou personally Ill take a good 390/420 over the twin shock 495 any day.

Post by: Slakewell on March 18, 2012, 11:28:41 am: If you use to much base gasket it changes the port timing to much and they hit harder because they dont run clean. Thicker head casket dose help / have played with the standard ignition timing, Flat slide elcetron tames it almost to much.

I did that on the 360 Mugen i had.. smoothed out the explosive short revving power and let it it pull a lot longer in each gear.
