Yes, it's my Stage II 750 conversion kit, for big carbs 36-38mm. Darren Abrams did the dyno testing of the kit, ans now I'm going to do the Alpha testing. So it will be a while. dyno figures looked very good, big carbs are good for more HP....... :mrgreen:

What do you have in mind for air filters? Are you going to make a box or squeeze some foam Unis in there?

Looking good! How thick is the block compared to your current block?
At any rate, I think I'm going to do the frame mod this winter to get around the issue myself.

Very cool.
Does your new design use a single sided reed(s) or a V-block style?

It sets the carb back 1.25", or 31.75mm for you furiners.......... :lol: '

And it's a right triangle block, Jim, with a small booster reed on the bottom.
