Repozer,
If I could have done the AVL, i would have.
There was too much needed to correct, and the needed procedures were too costly to make it worthwhile to do, and there aren't enough of them out there to make it financially viable as a project. Even Bullet Whisperer seems to have given up now.
Given up? Far from it, Ace ! But as you say, there are not too many AVL machines about compared with other models. The Electra X was still in production when I embarked on the tuning work. I could turn another one round in a short time frame, but there isn't the demand, a high percentage of owners must be satisfied with them in a fairly standard form. My tuning work is only a small sideline to restoration, including wheel building, for many makes and types of classic machinery.
That said, I have just created another 'Asbo' Bullet, this one is a 350 iron from 2006, which moved like a crippled slug when it arrived, but is a little more rapid now !
No, the basics of what I do haven't changed, but if they don't come through the door, they don't get done.
There are some tasty BSA / Triumph Triples here at present, one with three pipes stacked up one side
.
The AVL is easy to tune, shame they stopped making them, I doubt I will try tuning an EFI, as I am too busy with other stuff, and you look like you have that one taken care of and in safe hands, even the racing is taking a back seat at present
I am snowed under with work and enjoying every minute of it !
All the best,
B.W.
