[QUOTE="westgl, post: 95511, member: 2025"] Dan I would say, the length of throttle pull has been reduced. I am trying also NOT to get a Noise sensation induced performance increase. I better wear ear plugs when i do the next tests. I am not a professional, and My tests are not scientific, i could be way off. Like I say i dont want to get caught up in the excitement of how it rides and the overall pleasure of it's sweet manners, and exaggerate it's performance. I am trying to keep it real, and give you a good honest idea. My GL1200 was noticeably faster than my GL1100 was with both in their original Oem format. That is another reason why i want to do a back to back test Riding the GL11-2, then ride the GL1200. This is Only a seat of pants comparison, and may be hard to compare this way, But it is all I have. Both Bikes are naked. I think the GL11-2 is better suited to Heavy Hauling, & Goldwing duty than it was before. Or if naked, It is now a very good HD killer. Dan, All I can say is, I await your Ride report on the single carb. We will have to take into account the740 vs the 32dft is 15mm of Butterfly area larger. I am not a engineer and dont claim to be, I only have my seat of pants dyno, and it is not calibrated. I dont know what if any thing that larger butterfly area would do for/against you at low, mid, or upper power range. All I know is, I like it, and will not return to the 4 carb. cod catcher. [/QUOTE]
