Great project. What compression are you using? Any heat issues? What Suzuki are the carbs from? I have been working on a similar project , but have not been able to get much info on how the high compression piston performs with a stock cam or even a aftermarket cam. I was looking into using two mechanical carbs with a split cable like those used on an old RD 350 road bike. An update would be great. THUMPTHUMP

They havent stopped it mate, you just have to pay for it now. I think they will have a lot of people over a barrel. Its not the best way to treat users

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
