Hitchcocks Forum

Yesterday, the owner of Asbo 24 brought this machine, which I tuned for the previous owner, around for me to retard the [Hitchcocks] inlet cam. Here is a short ride after doing so. I believe it would benefit from slightly lower gearing, as it will go past the redline in 4th, but won't reach it in top. I am told it runs higher gearing than standard, but I did not count the teeth. It went well enough to leave its rear light lens and the letter 'R' from above it, somewhere along the road.

I like my bikes to be able to just pull the redline in the gear below top and leave top for motorway use.
