Rozabikes Tim:
If you say your mates had that from new, if he did that to the carb, he wants a friendly clip round the ear! ;)

I think it occurred when his Number One Son took the bike to agricultural college some years ago but nobody is admitting the bodgery.
I wouldn’t either it’s a bloody awful fix. But having been 17 once and needing to fix things on the fly on the way to work etc, I can understand why it’s been done

It’s got the obligatory Fresco pipe on the end and KnN filter, upgraded silly plug etc but it’s probably still 22hp now.
Didn’t spell check that did I, meant to ready, ‘barely 12hp now’

I've got some new polishing weapons Roo, just arrived today. If they pan out ok I'll let you know, in theory I may be able to polish a carb body even into the little crevices. They'll also come in handy for getting inbetween the fins on the barrels.
Laverdaroo:
Oo, that sounds interesting mate, I I was in polishing heaven last night. The sprocket cover that those muppets did for me started to bloom and looked like it had a load of coffee splashed over it so started to take it back again ast night.
Usual state of soul destroying affairs, you think that you can get that little mark out but as you just get rid of it it starts to grow and get bigger. Getting there now but it was a 2:30am sesh again last night!!
Being sol close to it and working on it for so long last night you notice stuff and it’s fairly apparent that they actually put marks on it in their crap process they do.
Really disappointing.
If you say you’re gonna do something, just do it, that’s what I’m paying for but bar about 5 or 6 companies I’ve dealt with this year, it seems folk just can’t be arsed anymore.
I’ll get it right but it possibly means that this is the most expensive sprocket cover on the planet
