TS1 and PX stay in the garage (future barn finds) out on the GTS 300 when I go out on a scooter.
I know I’ll get there and back

The biggest issue with a bolt-on reed manifold is the space that it takes up and the limited clearance to panelwork, whereas the reed designed kits tend to have it designed in to maximize clearance.
Does looking at this option suggest that you bought the wrong kit in the first place?
I'm raising questions, rather than giving my opinion as I too can see pros and cons for both.

Thanks Adam I think you have answered the question for me, I was having a friendly debate with Mr Traindriver and he decided to make it public...
