Roger middleton is a great guy, called him up asking about CDI derestriction and he sat on the phone with me for about half an hour explaining why its done, that you have to set the bike up right before you start playing, how to do the valve clearances his style. called him again after my head gasket went and asked him what the limit you can skim the head to safely is and he just told, warned me that it could cause problems and that if i want more compression remove the base gasket. And I'm not 100% on that seat unit, dont like it when the rears are higher than the tank, p[refer them to be level, but thats just me
