    same rod im running in the 360. im betting that will be pretty close, the lectron is pretty flexible, especially with the screw-adjustable top end.

    looking good. looks like you have ok access to the powerjet screw, no more jet swapping.

    I would suggest you talk to Kelly at Motorsport and seek his council on what size/style lectron to choose.

    Fired the bike on the lectron tonight. AWESOME! Second kick, choke off within 10 seconds. Idled for ~20 minutes or so and warmed up nice. Went for a short ride; AWESOME!! Very clean, no more mid range blubbering and MUCH better throttle response. The front end has never been lighter!
    Another happy lectron customer! image.jpg image.jpg
