This IS an interesting thread, I am surprised that the Candybox Vitesse is
allowed AT ALL, especially with all it's rear axle and rear drive
modifications.
Are the Triple sidedraught Webers really allowed?
Just curious.
I KNOW one thing, that nasty triumph tune alloy rocker box/valve cover is
most certainly NOT original and really spoils the underbonnet authenticity for
me, and anyone who knows anything about triumph tune, (lower case deliberate).
And, why would anyone want to remove that sweet 2.0L six with it's square
76mm bore and stroke, and replace it with that stroked 2498cc unit in the
first
place?
It is well known that the 2.0L is a better revving and all round nicer unit
than the 2.5L unit.
