I think what may make the pipes look a bit odd is they are shiny bright and dominate the picture a bit. I think it may improve when the finish is toned down a bit.

A few people I know have gone the other way and gone back to Bings. Roger Chaterton did and wrote a write up on the site about why he's gone back to Bings.


"Personally I'd avoid the Mikunis - various reasons, couple of which being-

much better fuel economy with the Bings - approx an extra 50+ miles per tankfull, (from 270 to a reliable 325 miles)

Mikunis were always difficult to line-up with the airbox air intake tubes, and backfired off a few times -very embarrassing,

Mikunis would allow water (rain !) in either via the throttle cable into the carbs, or via a badly fitting air intake ( see above),

choke levers were a bit of a faff-( ie no choke cables attached),

Bings seem smoother, and certainly no slower , (however, they have been "tweaked" by Richie Moore...say no more )

So - happy to have put carbs back to standard 40mm Bings.

The above is only MY experiences, so opinions might (will ) differ !! "

I called into Allens Performance a few months ago to get prices for somebody else

No problem!

Cover the old filler with a new layer to make the tank look right. Then paint it mat black and it will look just the job, till you find a good one to replace it with.

Easier still buy a tank cover. Hides a multitude of sins

It's needs blasting

Needs blasting??? Do me a favour ........ you're nearly there and that tank is a bit of a gem.

Look at this .....

Blasting ......... you should be ashamed of yourself!

Well a couple of changes not too happy with the battery on top of the gear box, so I am going to alter the alloy battery box to make it a bit smaller and fit it underneath as originally planned, I will have to source some longer battery leads.

The tank is getting blasted today so hopefully I can have it filled and painted tomorrow (sorry Tunneruk but I couldn’t be arsed).

I am looking at the length of the rear mudguard I may cut some more off the front of it, but my concern is the water flicking up through the middle of the bike.

Lastly I am going to track down some risers to lift the bars up an inch or so.
