mickcbr1100 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Did you ever speak to Pete at Blackbird Spares? he's got a 1200 'bird and should be able to tell you. Think his puts out 176hp at the rear wheel. Email would be best as he's at the Alexandria Palace show each day this week, his bike is on the Avon stand :cool: http://www.blackbirdspares.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northman Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Pete's bike is FI, so he might not be able to help much.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickcbr1100 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 oops :oops: I always thought it was carbed, should have checked the spec better and noticed the fitted Power Commander :roll: And to try to make up for up for it, here's Pete's bike on the Avon stand at the bike show this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
