I was about to choose between Mugello 200 and an Imola when someone recommended the MBD RT 195 kit but I don't know much about it.
MB stuff is usually pretty good, it's ceramic lined apart from that nothing.
Anyone running this kit could give me some info or recommendation? I have a AF Clubman or PM pipe to choose from and a 26mm Delorto.
Be grateful for any feedback.

Why is the 26mm PHBH I have a problem, I want to keep any cost to a minimum (after the kit) , also reading the link they said Ceramic was preferred so why go back to Nicasil , not that I mind that .

I have read an article from Mark himself, it is defo nicasil lined, original plans where to ceramic line, please see the quotes from MB website.

"This late sample batch has the MRB marking, UK early ones had MBD"

"Shinny hard Ceramic plated in the UK, the later versions use a Nicasil plating"

As regards to the carb this is part of an email I received from Mark and I would tend to agree with him

"I don't use the 26mm carb its a waste of time in between carb, I would go for the 25mm if you want standard looks and the air filter boxes. Or I would use a 28 or 30mm on the down draft manifold. At the moment we are out of stock but they are ordered. Both kits need a 200 inlet manifold. Should only take a day or so to do the inlet, but I guess a few will want it done as its a great way to get the kit going."
