I just came across the settings I have. I have a Rapide with 8:1 pistons, 105 cams, straight through Toga muffler and the round air cleaners (Wassel) that are used on Triumph Bonnevilles. It has 34mm Mikuni VM carbs off a snowmobile. It has manifolds made from some castings I got from Terry Prince. The manifolds have a sudden reduction in size down to 32mm and then taper down to 30 mm which is the size of the opening in the head. I didn't open the head out more because I thought it was not necessary and also I thought that one day I might install a set of 1 3/16" 10TT9 carbs I have on there (1 3/16" is 30mm) Maybe I will never do that. 30mm ports are obviously not to big for a 500cc cylinder.

I have put about 12,000 miles on it with this set up. It runs really well. It starts immediately, and also idles well. It is noticeably faster than Vincents that are set up stock. It seems to keep up with the other ones that are supposed to be fast. It can do long runs at wide open throttle on mountain passes two up at 85 MPH so it is not jetted to lean, it is just right. Sometimes on a higher pass a slight richness is noticeable. I think that the air cleaners have some restriction and also the 105 cams, with straight through exhaust, give a very strong vacuum. It is surprising how small the jet is.
The fuel economy is between 50 and 65 mile per gallon (Imperial gallons) Usually it is 50 but sometimes on the highway I get the higher figure. I am sure that if I put in a 300 jet my engine would barely run at full throttle.
It won't accept full throttle until 3000 RPMs but if I am trying to go fast the engine is above that speed anyway. It still runs really nicely at 2000-3000 RPMs for causing on country roads.
