ever notice how on the sportbike forums, the members are all a bunch of unknowledgable 18year old punks who act like the immature little brats that they are... Well, what does it say to you when it takes an 18 year old kid to tell a bunch of old guys on a vintage bike forum to grow up. arai59, if you are challenging plummen's knowledge and experience, you can slow your roll right now. BTW, Whoever welded plummen's frame is an artist and an expert and is welcome to come weld my gusset's too. I wont at all feel like less of a man or builder.

pull the filter, I hear with open carbs you get something like an extra 50hp and another 2mpg. I'd do it on my 650, but I'm worried without the restriction of the filters that my engine would start ingesting jets as my vm24's don't flow enough gas to make it work.

You just gotta take the valves and cams out, put a reed valve in your intake runner, plug up your exhaust runner with JB weld, then drill some holes in the exhaust side of your cylinder about 1/2 way down. Voila, 1000cc four cylinder two stroke! It's as easy as that with my ten step program!!

Don't forget to remove the oil filter too because it drains HP pushing oil through it. Or for maximum efficiency you can simply drain the oil so the pump freewheels. This doesn't actual increase the HP, but it lets more of the existing power get to the rear wheel (until the engine siezes). :silly:

If you don't mind getting your elbows dirty, you can drill some Speed holes in your connecting rods and piston skirts to lower the amount of mass moving in the engine. Makes it easier to get higher RPM's and horse power. Also, use a propane torch and braze some pennies to the inside of your combustion chamber. 3 pennies per cylinder will bump you up at least 3-4 psi without using a turbo for boost.
By far the best bang for the buck, after pulling your filters. You just need to know how to work a wrench and a torch. Don't forget to drain your gas tank so you don't have any fuel around to cause a fire when using the torch.
If you don't want to pull the head, just drip some solder onto the piston through the spark plug hole. When the engine gets hot the solder will melt and fill in any defects you may have in your piston or head.
