I was thinking specifically cost But also set-up time. I'm assuming you don't just solder them onto the stock loom

Nah, just curious. The last thing I need is a car to mod, I can barely afford the bike When I do get a car, I'm going to need to be careful and make sure it's so unglamorous and unlovable, there'll be no temptation.

Buy a corsa then

My XR used to run twin 50's on a custom manifold with a on stage 4 head bolted to a 1700 bottom end bored, stroked, lightened and balanced to just over 1800. LIghtweight flywheel, moddified 5 speed gearbox. Always wanted Nos but never got round to it. As said before around 224hp at the crank on Power plus engineerings rollers about 200 at the wheels
