Well I finally got around to putting the Mikuni on with a 115 main and 30 pilot, turned the air screw out 1.5 turns, cranked it and voila, fired right up. Took it for a quick spin and all I can say is wow. The bike is transformed, wraps up much quicker and has a nice strong linear power delivery all the way up to red line. Decided to see if my top end improved, so ran the same course I did on previous speed tests. The results speak for themselves.

Wow! To summarize in a nutshell, you only replaced both sprockets and carb?

Changed my 15t to a 17t today and gained about 3-5 mph.

Yup, running 17/45 with the Mikuni. The performance gain swapping out the carb was pretty amazing. She purrs like a kitten now at 55mph. Oil cooler should arrive in the next week or so. Sort that out and she should be ready for Yuma amd points beyond.

Do the CG clone engines have any oil pressure to speak of?
With all the bearings, except for the valve rockers, being roller bearings, it doesn't need much, and an oil cooler could be restricting flow. |

The CG engines have plenty of oil pressure and I don't think a cooler would cause any problem. After the pump the oil splits 3 ways so the only restriction would be for the oil going to the rocker arms, and that would be minimal. Oil pressure through the rest of the engine would be unaffected. Whether the CG engine needs an oil cooler is another question.

I got all my kit together and wanted to see if it will fit on the mighty Hawk. I'm happy to say that everything I'll need for extended overland travel is aboard. It's going to be a cozy ride
I was originally going to use the Mosko gear but decided to use my Giant Loop as it's been tested and proven to be pretty much indestructable. The second shot is the same gear loaded on a BMW I used for a Southern Africa Adventure.

Member 2LZ and I were discussing the rear racks available on a few of the Bashan bikes; the "traditional" rack that holds a whole slew of stuff. My question is: will the rack on the Hawk hold a top case--those ones that look really bulky but are actually very light AND hold a bunch of stuff? I know the traditional racks are virtually designed for cases, but is the 'modern' Hawk's rack able to bolt a case to it?

That makes me think that I can go even richer on my 200 China bike, to see if it'll make even more power.

It might be wise to search for the version that has a valve between the two banjo fittings, so that the cooler can be closed off in cold weather.
