    A real good exhaust is were I would be looking
    There are at least 3 different types on FF's thread.
    If you look at them several follow the style like the original looper had.
    Seems to be the go as used on the M31 as well.
    I reckon you could make that yourself
    Guessing but I would say the reason the looper went to the style of exhaust like a 70/75 has is to broaden the torque curve, not something you need on a kilo engine.
    Those were the days of cross flow grunt and the loopers had less. Probably explains the low gear ratios as well.

    PM philmyrna_shakesby he knows a thing or 2 about loopers

    so ive been thinking about carbys and reeds.. heres some different options i have...

    these single stage 6 over 6 carbon fibre looking reeds, they can either be put on the proper reed block or run on these "fabricated" blocks.



    2 stage 5 over 5 plastic reeds, they are what was on my straight in front





    the reed blocks arent sitting flat as there was bits of gasket here and there

    does anyone have some pro's or cons on the reeds for me?
