the intake doesn t matter as much as the transfers and exhaust.if those intakes were bead blasted they would look half decent.looks can be decieving,if anyone was around years ago for that whole all pro cycles fiasco,they would remember brians butcher job of a set of my friends jugs.they looked like an abortion performed by ray charles.they were 65 hp on 93 octane pump gas and ran like a raped ape all day long every day we rode. lasted over 2 years on the same pistons and rings.the only reason the motor came apart was because i bought the bike and parted it out.
