Hi folks,

Firstly, HI - new to this site and already glad I found it.

Facts on the ground:
I'm in the process of fitting the Wiseco 904cc big bore kit into my (formerly) 790 01 Bonnie (if your doing likewise check out "Pat's Triumph Site" - very good). I've already fitted a pair of TORS and am about to dispense with the AI.
I'm at the point of buying a jet kit and a different air filter to make the most of the above though I plan to keep the CVK carbs and the stock airbox.
I've heard about various jetting kits (Dynojet, Freak) and filters (K&N, DNA) but have become a bit lost in the fog of information.

Now my question(s):
What's the best combination of parts/settings?
How do they affect performance/reliability/economy even?
What additional tweaks should I look at?

I'm sure there must be plenty of others out there who've gone down this road. So, any ideas guys?

.................................................. ...............................................

Incidentally, if anyone else is thinking about getting a Wiseco 904 big bore kit (part no. CK149), here are some UK price comparisons for you to consider (supply only - you'll still need to sort out the barrel rebore and fitting yourself):
Norman Hyde = £459 + VAT = £539.33
Wiseco UK (AKA "Eastwood Racing") = £355 inc VAT
eBay.UK seller "harrisxr69" (AKA "Gremlin Racetech") = £285.95 + £9.95 P&P
I got mine from Wiseco UK and only found the eBay seller after my kit was delivered so I don't know how reliable he is (but he does have 99.8% + feedback).
All the same, as a Scotsman words fail me!

I'm also about to do a bit of searching around for jet kit and filter prices, so if anyone is interested I'll get back to you with my results.
