Re: Stolen GP

Finally got it back today from the police and it's in possession. Give it a once over with shaun and no damage other than steering lock and ignition to replace.

Re: Carb clearance advise

28/30 PWK is a lot narrower than a PHBH and I agree with Minority it is a much better carb, they have a 50mm bellmouth opening and a 35mm stub opening (same as 28/30mm PHBH)
