That's way too pretty to install!!!!

As slick as it looks, you are going to use the rods with the oil hole in the big end right?

well I've got carillo rods and they don't have oil holes :shocked:
the big performance gain though will be the psychological impact on the nut between the bars :thumb:

it does have a B10 cam and 40mm carbs, I also took out the cyclinder base gasket for a little higher compression, but most of my focus has been on handling, I have maxton innards in a 40mm california fork, gazi shocks, 17 inch rims on spoked wheels, frame bracing, lighter rear disc and caliper and a few other unsprung weight reductions. It is a lot more stable deep into the corners.
