update on this.....settled on a smaller drive pulley off the TAV and using a 26mm carb....bike now peaks at 50mph.....alot better to me then when it was hitting 60 easy. I suppose you could get the TAV with the bigger driven pulley and make it even more punchy down low and slow it down more. its still really strong accelerating and hills dont bother it at all.
Is the motor still governed? What is the 26mm carb from? What a great looking and sounding bike!

Its a 26mm carb off a whizzer ambassador... Before they switched back to smaller ones on the 2008,s. The gov is removed . the ambassador pipe on it with the bigger silencer does sound good. Bikes out on loan this week, I'm going to sell it soon if I see people looking that really are buying.
We had the bike out this week and three people came in the donut shop lot just to see it etc. Its a crowd draw for sure.....is here anyway.

So you removed the governor (just the linkage or the gear inside?), opened up the exhaust, changed the carburetor and air intake. Any other engine changes? Did you watch the engine revs, keeping them down somewhat or did the torque converter do that on it's own?
It really is a wonderful bike. No surprise that people are interested in it. Sure you want to sell t? I think that one would be hard to let go...
