[QUOTE="dkl, post: 126344, member: 2308"] Heck ya, I have ridden it almost 800 miles. I have a 82 with good stock carbs, and the 81 with single carb set up. I finally got the fish tails welded up on both bikes so they are both naked and set up identically. The stock bike runs perfect, and there is nothing better or smoother than a well running stock 1100. That being said let me tell the tale on the single set up. It is cheap, less than $35 in fittings, the carb new was $95. This bike is made from left overs from three builds, I had no carbs, necessity is the mother of invention. This build will get ya on the road, cheaply, easily, and quickly. The single idles fine, but has to be set higher, 1050 to 1100. It feels like it has more jump, or torque than stock. It will put you at the back of seat during acceleration, and I have not felt a lag, or dead spot in any gear, at any rpm....It runs like a scalded dog up to 80,,,,then it no longer has that torquey feel. It just gradually gets faster to 90, and that was enough for me. It was nowhere near redline, and had plenty of throttle left. High speed performance is the trade off, imo. But I am not a racer, I'm a sunday driver, this set-up fits me like a glove, 55 to 70 is my wheel house.......no synchin, no hydra-lockn, and no fear of ethanol....again I say....[b]Single Life for Me[/b]....
