What if you have a reed vale at 14 BHP?

Phew,that's ok. I'm probably over 20hp now with the Mikeck but still piston ported. Had me worried then.

I'm buying one, a very little at at a time, and at 1100 pounds, it's a good price when you compare it with a Cyclone 5 Supreme Plus.

I would like to bring one of these into the USA, but I haven't heard back from the MB crew about how to put my money on their bench.

Does this come with a packer? If not how have they been able to do what Rimmini struggle with, ie getting all gears to mesh without requiring more space?

What are you going to pack?, if you moved the end plate out, you'd need to move the clutch out, the the front sprocket plus a longer lay shaft, chain case & probably more, they have to fit in the 4 speed space.

I think the claim is in the quality/strength of the materials to reduce the size of the gears with ever increasing power for them to cope with.

I did wonder. So its the same as rimini then apart thats its more expensive and hasnt been tested on more than 2 bikes at this point in time? I have to wonder why you would pay more money for a first version of a box when you can buy one cheaper thats been revised a number of times with issues dealt with?

Well, the implication is that it's been designed right the first time. So doesn't need you to roll one trouser leg up, tickle a goats unmentionables, drill holes to inspect your navel etc, in order to shim it correctly to stop it self destructing...

You pays your money you takes your chance...

I put a Cyclone in a friend's engine. I was meticulous. I am not a person who cuts corners and I am thorough. The engine put out prolly about 20 hp - nothing crazy. The Cyclone chucked out a couple teeth. The cluster was replaced. I mean, s**t happens. Does this mean Dean is an idiot and everyone at Rimini is a jackass? Of course not. People have got to drop this ego s**t and just accept that stuff happens. There are Avanti kits with problems, RB kits with plating coming off, AF crankshafts twisting out with RB20 kits, BGM craptastic stators, BGM RT kits with cylinder studs that are made from cheese, etc. We are asking for the moon with this stuff and being complete f@@king children when s**t goes south. "Hurry! Run to the internet and post some stuff!" Not everything happens in a vacuum. You reach out to the people who can sort you out and if it isn't satisfactory you spend your money elsewhere.

f@@king chill out.
