That sounds really nice!
After what I understand MR Cavanaugh really knows what he are doing. :woohoo:
In situations like that I really would like to be living closer to the big markets and shops "over there", in Canada or US.

KING OF BLING.

Well, what can I say, those who have been reading these project knows that the BLING factor is high!
So one thing I know, no one can steal my Mikuni RS36 set after I am done with them! :laugh:
They are easy to recognize!

I have two of those sets, but they are market differently, the oldest? one says:

T36 D3P.

The other set says:

T36 D3C.

Anyone who knows if there are any differences, or the history?

This is what they looked like, its no point polishing them up, for to repeat it again and again...The only cure is paint! (surprise?)

Ready for Gun-Kote.

From the oven.

Bling!

So now is left to build them up again with new gaskets, and new parts where its necessary.

Very Nice.
Why 36's rather than 34's ?

Thanks Mark!

Its a coincidence, when I bought the GPZ110 with the 1261cc Wiseco engine I got one set, and the other one did I buy used somehow cheap.

I reckon I would be better out with the 34mm on this engine. :huh:

thanks for the compliments guys.i love to help someone as motivated as roy is.he is unstoppable,and a quick study.i would love to get him over here and watch him go crazy.cause we know what he can do with limited resources.

Roy, been trying to catch up on your thread...i need a few days off for all the pages! I'm a new member and in Norway. I moved to Bergen a few years ago from Texas. I have a '77 Martin with a 1000 motor...hope to start on the refurbishment in the next month. I put a pic of it in the intro section. I'm in Midtun, where are you? Hans
