Re: BGM 12HP 200 any good?

Bit the bullet and got one, not too impressed with the finishing, especially the top transfer port, had to be cleaned up quite a bit as did the entry into the barrel which needed opening and squared off.

BGM 12HP 200 any good?

Anyone running the BGM "12HP" top end on their P200?
Is there a noticeable improvement over the standard top end?

Not interested in kits, just a boost over standard. Have a SIP Road 2 fitted already.

Re: NK

Had one on my Spanish series 2. Think I had to adjust the rear bracket so the can didn't hit the panel handles. Been a few years! Can be made to fit alright.

Mine wouldnt inflate at all. I sprayed soapy water around hiss at the manifold and it showed bubbles at the high stud....

Did the bicycle tube and foot-pump test and lo and behold air was e...
