Standard TS1 matched to casings.
GP200 46 x 19
Fast road - not touring - thrashing around having fun

19x46 on a GP200 box gives you about 4.8.
Jl3 should work with that, you'll have a better spread of power lower down than with the Fran Race (JL4).

Is the Franspeed Race the same as a JL4 then?

They're all built by JL - Jim Lomas.
JL3 is based upon the old Taffspeed Road
JL4 is based on the old Taffspeed Race.
As I understand it the Franspeed pipes are Andy Francis' updated and branded version of the same pipes. They may have different bracketry and tail cans but essentially the same.
