[Re-Vision]

I'd like to have that fabricator build me a duplicate of all the painted parts on the Vision.   BDC

[The Prophet of Doom]

A stainless steel vision would be cool, but rather heavy I would think
Perhaps polished aluminium would be a better bet

[Rikugun]

I like the stainless steel tank but I can live with painted plastic body covers.  :)

Hmmm, an 8000 RPM tach.

[fret not]

Yeah, but it looks cool, doesn't it?  Besides, how often do you rev to 10,500?

[treedragon]

above 8000rpm........... lot's
above 10,500rpm.......... probably way too often  ::)  ;D

... and particularly interested to know how well that single carb goes

... and particularly interested to know how well that single carb goes

Based on the YouTube "first start" video, I'd say the jetting needs a wee bit of work yet. Or the missing vacuum plug is still missing from the manifold pic!  :o  :)

Speaking of single carb offerings, wonder how the progress on this goes?

Nice to see it underway, nice work!  :) I like the look of those handlebars - do they interfere with the tank at full lock?

[Rick G]

Roro , you might be surprised. In 1969 I bought a Kawasaki bushwacker . 169 cc two stroke.  I set it up for TT racing and  got the wieght down from 278 lbs to 207 . we measured the rear SS  fender and  the steel brake stay . both were so light that alloy would not have helped. We did remove the  mild steel brace under the fender , that supported the tail light.

[rocket39]

I have a good handlebars-tank space!
tomaselli bars are very easy to use ! :)

[The Prophet of Doom]

Nice clip-ons.  They almost look like they would fit under the triple and end up being at about the same height,  Would that be right do you think?

Hi, I have some info about new carburator, after some tests I have found this configuration as better for reliability and performance: Dell'Orto vhb 29 A D , minimum jet diameter 55 ; maximum jet diameter 130 ; 70 coke jet.
I hope this information can be usefull to someone, bye.
