Thank you Mike, I always value your input. Funny btw. how that bright red inlet snout adds to the desirability of the carb, we are easy victims to marketing strategies.
Well, I have 35mm valves and tooling for a 5 angle seat job. I may even have a junk head coming this way to try the mod. out on, and since I have already bought the carb, I am going full bore to try this out. As far as frame modifications, there is that nasty seat/tank mount, which is in the way. I can't allow myself to chop it off, totally forbidden here, so perhaps rout the inlet both under and over, we will see. I ran the idea over with the porting experts at "Porting & Gasflowing Cylinder Heads, Manifolds and Induction Systems" on Facebook, where the idea got mixed reviews. But one thing was good, I got some numbers. Like inlet must flow 260cfm for a decent porting job. We will see about that, up til now I have managed 208cfm. Also got some good advice regarding inlet cross section to get proper speed in the air, so looking forward to start this work. Meanwhile, I have laced and trued the rear wheel, and just delivered it to have tire mounted on 18" rim and then I might actually take the bike out for a spin on proper tires. I am not going to drive into the swamps, so don't need the bouyancy of the rear balloon, 4.1 x 18" is the way to go.
Cheers, Finn Hammer
