It revs nicely on the stand through the MB filter. I've been up and down the gears in our street and not noticed any difference to the way the engine performed with a Ram Air filter. However, that's not quite a proper road test
It's cheaper this way ...

Nearly finished now. Wiring an LI switch with a Casa ignition switch and bgm loom caused me lots of head scratching but everything now works (see my post today in Wanted section re Fores headlight bulb holder).

Having satisfied myself that the brakes would stop it, I took the LL S2 out for a cheeky blast today.
I say blast but the maiden voyage was very flat. I suspected it was the filter strangling it so I came back, took the panel off, and put the Ram Air back on. Yes, it was the MB filter strangling it, however, a couple of minutes with a Stanley knife to open it out to the diameter of the bellmouth, and all was good again.
It's now ready to go for first registration MOT

There's always a way, mate Clutch (it always did drag a bit) and possibly gearing, need a bit of tinkering before Davos. Need it registering and a full laden down rally trip before we set off

That's not a tool box, more a small shed 
"Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better."
Until now i've never really been a s2 fan but I absolutely love this. Great thread and i hope to see it in Davos.
Really like the scoot, hope you are not a tall fellow ! No where to put your Knees with that butty box
