Best Drum Brake Shoes ?

Hi Guys

I am looking to improve the front drum brake on my GP ( Italian DL 125 ) and while I am in there I thought I would change the shoes for some new ones.

Are all of the currently available ones about the same, or in your experience is any one brand better than the others ?

RT195 with BGM CNC 25mm and airbox ?

Hi Guys

I am contemplating a setup as follows

A RT195 kit with the BGM CNC / flanged rubber manifold , a 25mm phbl and the std hose leading to a std ( well BGM actually ) airbox.

Has anyone tried that manifold carb airbox combo - does it all line up nicely ?

SiP Speedo in a new PX - where did you put the box ?

Hi guys

I have a sip digital speedo coming in the post for my 2016 PX 150 and have been looking at the online manual.

Smallblock PX - carb sizes ?

Hi guys

Just how much power can you get from a kitted PX using the standard 20mm carb ?

I know it's quite common to change to a 24mm PX 200 carb but I am wondering at what point it becomes 'essential'
