When I first dynoed one, I stopped testing because, for some reason
it was already making a 100 True hp at 7000 rpm! The original "Full Race Lincoln Continental" and my favorite sport tourer.... Marc |

SHFT-EVO-H75/cbr1100xx
fits all years cbr1100xx The star, arm and spring kit. |
Factory Pro's exclusive Imagine Last lap, last corner, 110 mph, two wheel drift...
passing on the outside, bike carefully controlled by just the subtlest
of weight transfer and just a "fingers touch" on the throttle... you
run out of rpm and need to upshift to complete the pass.... you need
to shift.... it's ok.... a tap and you are in the 4th, still in a drift.......
you keep slightly pulling... around.... slowly past.... OK - So, maybe you don't drive your XX like the above, but - if you wanted the sweetest shifting bike, ever - this is the kit that takes away in-town "clunk" and really lets the bike "snick" sweetly into every up or down shift - This IS the mod that you want. Virtually eliminates missed shifts.

Hey Marc,
That's pretty cool, thanks. BTW, I fitted the jet and 4 degree advancer on Saturday,
used all the specs on the instruction sheet, however, I found the stock jets fitted
to my 'bird (Aussie version), were 145's on the outside and 150's for the inside
two, no major dramas though, looking at your specs I see you're tuning at ~2500ft,
I live and ride mostly at close to sea level and up to maybe 1000ft, with your 142
reference main jets suited to ~2500ft I decided to fit the supplied 145's and use
#3 position on the needles, 2 3/4 on the fuel screws, I did a carb synch whilst
I was at it and got them all within 5mmHg, it was spot on first up, no more flat
spot and throttle response was crisp as, do you have any thoughts?
Thank you. Now I have trouble keeping the front end down in the first two gears
when doing a 1/4 mile blast at my local drag strip....;-))
Cheers, and all the best from down under

Dear Sir or madam,
I'd just like to say thank you for your great service,
I ordered some parts from you to be delivered to Sydney Australia, they turned up
this morning delivered to my door less than a week later, I wish I could get that
sort of service from all of my local suppliers.
Once again, thank you.
Cheers and all the best from down under.

As stated in the earlier email, I
have your +4 ign advancer and jet kit. Both are wickedly good
products and absolutely transformed the bike. You are welcome to
post these comments along with the anticipated "I wish that I
had fitted the Factory Pro Evo Shift Kit before I missed a gear
and wrecked 4th gear. I had an expensive and time consuming
rebuild. I have fitted the Evo kit and the difference in
shifting is astounding!"
Regards, Gaz.

| The extension of the laboratory
for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed
in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940).
He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after
the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar
to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal
use but well preserved. Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock. |

Maybe in next rewrite, he'll fix the ignition timing and dyno chapters... Otherwise great book with great starting ideas. |
