popped in to swiftune on the way back to tell them, and they were well pleased, it's the most I could of hoped for.
Still on standard rockers and Not got a weber on it, so if I ever get bored I can up the power to close to 110bhp I reckon.

Don't think I'll get bored tho, just look at how the torque holds with the HIF44 carb.
It's a monster. Grr!

Looking good Al!! :grin:

Am getting a bit concerned that about 160bhp might be a bit lary through the back wheels....... :nugget: :grin:

Nice looks alot like the power curve for my 1425, a little bit scatty lil the cam comes on, and then pure power!

I've made a new GRP bonnet too. looks awesome and weighs nothing. Plus it clears carb and rocker cover on a minus so no ugly lumps.

wow 90bhp and 80lb/ft of torque, thats really respectable for a 1380, the standard rockers will help with all that low down grunt

when you mention non vented calipers as rocking horse poo, are they really that rare? because ive got them on mine!

Only judging by my own experiences, but I couldn't find any for sale.
And when I did, they were only £20 and in great condition.

My new bonnet is done.
I've got a few fitting issues though

What you mean, like, it doesn't!

[Alburglar]

ey?

[Alburglar]

oh fit? I ******* the holes for the pins up as i measured them off my current bonnet which is totally different.

[Pooky]

You said you've got a few fitting issues.

That usually means it doesn't fit.

Am i being stoopid? :grin:

I also have fitted a smiths split guage. oil pressure and mechancial (accurate) temp guage. But guage was second hand and didn't come with the adapter to fit to cylinder head! If anyones got one I've got a tenner waiting for you?

Also fitted a 5inch moster tacho and shift light, which only worked in neutral. So I ripped it out. Turns out it's for a bike, dunno how that makes a difference, should still be 4 cylinder?????
