Bought some barrels bored 4mm bigger than mine + pistons. Bolt on performance...

Only took me two evenings. Putting the barrels on is just the same pictures in reverse really. So won't bore you with that.

Got some spare heads so might get them ported etc then put them on with some high compression pistons at a later date. But for now this is a nice extra gain for £250+£68 on gaskets.

Wheelies in third alot easier now Thumbs Up

Nice one! How much is the power gain? ~8bhp?

That's one of those bolt ons I'd buy, and then never quite be bothered to fit.

No idea what the overall gain will be. Have to wait till i can get some dyno time to setup powercommander.

Didn't take long at all to do. The bastard bit was fitting the piston circlips back in. Took a chunk out of my thumb getting one in. Never had so difficult ones to do before.

What did amaze me was a complete top end rebuild gasket kit from ducati was £68. Quite cheap i thought considering it included everything even valve oil seals.

Already the power feels nicer and more inclined to lift the front wheel.
