Axle tubes are precision-crafted from 2 3 / 8” diameter thick-wall tubing and solid steel, CNC machined carriers house US-made Dana 44 spider gears.“ Automotive-style Timken-type splined wheel hubs provide exceptional strength and are designed for severe use applications.

Said to flow more air at full throttle to produce more peak power than other carburetors with bigger venturi bores, at smaller throttle openings, Mikuni’ s smaller, yet higher velocity flowing venturi, together with its advance fuel metering system, is said to provide“ a stronger overall powerband with improved rideability. On a stock engine without any other modifications you can expect it to provide a significant 10 % increase in power and torque, and up to a 25 % increase in power and torque when matched to a higher flowing intake and exhaust system.”
