My Mick Abbey Tuned Cylinder.

Hi, Firstly a big thanks to Dan and Mick for a truly impressive turnaround time, I had the kit back in just over a week, great stuff.
I send my Indian Ali 225 block to have the ports and transfers all tidied up and to gain a little more in the way of useable performance. It's previously seen some fettling so there were already some restrictions on what could be achieved as the exhaust port was probably high enough already, so I spoke with Dan and Mick and told them I was after some more midrange grunt. Mick then gave me a ring to discuss what he thought he could do and give me his initial findings on what he saw. He was a great guy to speak to and was very interested in what I had to say as well and parting with some good advice and information. On return, I could instantly see that the bulk of the work was on the transfer ports to try and claw back some grunt as discussed so I was anxious to get it fitted and try it out.
Very happy with the result so far, it defiantly pulls a lot harder through the mid range and up into the power band. Once it hits around 5000 rpm it really pulls, a big improvement here. I still probably need to fiddle with the jetting before I give it a good run but first impressions are spot on. !!
Mick even rung me back to ask how thing are going and to make sure all was well.
If everybody gave this level of service, the world would be a better place.
Defiantly recommended this end.
