Welcome, cool bike. Not that many ELR's around even over here.

Interesting engine build, 1385cc is a bit of a odd size.

80mm = 1327cc and 82mm = 1393cc, but 1385cc = 81.75mm, so I have to ask what make are the pistons?

What size RS flat slides are you running? 36 or 38?

I just came across a old performance parts catalog from 1985 that listed a Wiseco kit at 1385cc, but it was 82mm. The following year that was dropped to reflect a actual size of 1393cc.

Hi! Pistons made to order. In Russia, you can also order forged pistons for any motorcycle. But it doesn't always work the first time.)))) Now there are RS38, before that from Suzuki GSXR 750 - 38 mm and tried 40 mm from GSXR 1100. Stopped at RS, no money on Keihin FCR.)))
I think you've seen a lot more carburetors.
