On the Taffspeed Specials that we built all used the Indian GP200 Bigbore system, with the porting done to the cylinder they worked well & were not loud!
Your 190cc cast cylinder should work well with 175'-180' exhaust timing @ 42mm width, transfers about 126', inlet approx 150' with a 28-30mm Dellorto.

I hope this helps you decide & make a choice within your budget.

Best regards
Ian

what could be done to improve performance and would i be right in thinking that a 48mm bigbore is only different to a 42mm due to the down pipe and nothing else / cheers simon

just to add i have removed the wafer thin mesh aswell, measured the 2 pipes at around 3/4". i was thinking cut the perferated bits off the pipes and block one off
