I looked. :laugh:
Not sure if the look was worth the effort though.
Your right TB it is a nice XR and probably worth the money with all that safari gear.

Then you can do as my bike has been done and fit a HRC performance kit, head work with standard valves, carb mods etc etc which is good for around 63 hp. It is the torque that makes these bikes excel they can pull the bend out of a river
Europeans dont often use horsepower but normally quote kilowatts, or if they use horsepower it is metric against the Americans with XR’s would be imperial

Hey TB, have you put yours on a Dyno? be interesting to see the figures
Ollie
Yes the last time I had the vortex changed it produced 60 rear wheel hp. Mine has the standard piston in it which is I am told is down around 3 to 4 hp over the HRC piston. Because I dont ride around the same torn up destroyed tracks every ride and ride distances sometimes I cant be sure of the quailty of the fuel around the traps I run the standard piston with the lower compression ratio.
I plan to take it to fatheads soon and make some more changes and will dyno it on his dyno and will video it all for the site
