What's your compression on both cylinders?

More Power!  Grunt, grunt...

I have the Harbor Freight lift I got on sale for $200 and put the good wheel chock on and a Cherry Picker.

You could try soaking a y boot in a 50/50 mixture of wintergreen oil and either xylene or acetone overnight, then putting the PWK's into the openings and let it dry out...

For goods of U.S. origin sent for repair and returned to the U.S.
If the goods were originally manufactured or in circulation in the U.S. and are being sent to the U.K. for repair before being returned to the U.S., a different process applies for U.S. customs.
What is required
CBP Form 4455: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recommends using a CBP Form 4455, Certificate of Registration. Before exporting the item, the shipper must bring the goods and form to a CBP office for inspection and sign-off.
Include form with shipment: A copy of the signed CBP Form 4455 should be sent with the goods to the U.K. repairer. The repairer should include this copy in the package when returning the goods to the U.S..
Commercial invoice: The commercial invoice for the return shipment should state that the items are "returning for repair". This helps clarify the purpose of the import to customs officials in both countries.
Important considerations
Application timelines: The U.K. business should apply for an Outward Processing authorization at least one month before exporting the goods to ensure enough time for processing.
Non-compliance: Failure to follow the correct procedures can result in standard duties and taxes being applied.
Expert advice: Given the complexities of international trade and customs regulations, it is advisable for businesses to seek assistance from a customs broker or trade specialist.

When sending a motorcycle part to the UK for repair and then back to the US, you can apply for special customs procedures to reduce or eliminate tariffs. In both the US and the UK, these processes ensure you pay duties and Value Added Tax (VAT) only on the value added by the repair, rather than on the full value of the part.

For a motorcycle part sent to the Netherlands for repair and return, you can use a process called "Inward Processing" to be exempt from import duties and VAT. This special customs procedure allows for the temporary import of goods for processing or repair without paying taxes, as long as the items are re-exported within a specified timeframe.

I think you should do one for Norton...

Savor custom built RFY reservoir shocks for me - I gave him my weight and he got the correct springs and worked his magic.

What master cylinder are you using?

I saw no reference to it - Did you replace the spark plug wires?

You say you are running cone air filters - if they are the ones with a flat top opposite the carb that is a problem...

How good is your battery and what voltage do you get at 5k rpm?

Those aren't DG's...

Somehow I missed this thread when it originated, but it makes me glad I got the second set of RD400 heads made...

Pretty sure it was running until impact...
