I've got a JL3 on my Rapido at the moment and love it but it's getting a bit tired now - very rusty around the manifold area.

I have an Nk in my shed and the offer of an almost new chrome one for next to nowt, would I get reasonable performance and comparable to the JL?

I dunno much about NK's but they rev more like a JL4 I think....my JL3 was looking tatty, I got it bead blasted and painted for 25 quid, I wasn't keen on the aluminium finish and sprayed it again myself, if you are happy with the way it performs then maybe recycle it? Ifyou want something revier go for the NK...

I guess the best way would be to sling it on and try it but if the general concensus was not to bother it would save me a lot of messing about.
