                      • lovely bike man. you should try a timing advance and better fuel [97 octane] with a different and more aggressive head design. Try and find if you can get your hands on a larger piston and better carburetor. you will be all set. last buy not the least i feel this bike will benefit from a R15 front fairing or even nose. I could hear a lot of crosswind in the video. Just my 2 cents

                        Cheers

                          Thanks Atul, I thought of the R15 fairing before, too big I feel. Thinking of an altenative
