I've run a Hinson basket for a long time. Pretty sure they are still available, great basket.

I have not been able to find one. They haven't been sold in a couple years.

I really like the look and idea of the Dicks mods and the dial-a-jet but am not too sure if it is what I want or, if it will work with everything else???? Am I being led astray by dirt bike mag. articles??

Why did you decide not to go with Dick's mods? I know he specializes in the KTM 36mm carb taper bore to 39mm, but was myself wondering if he could do a 38mm to 40.5mm taper bore out of a PWK airstriker.
delphipro5:
I am wary on dick, he is tough to get a hold of and when you do it's a rushed convo. I think the mods. are a bit much anyway for my use. Not saying he does a bad job, just that now that he is all over bike Mags., he has got his hands full with work, and facetime, and riding, and racing,... busy guy! He's gonna call me mon. I will see about all of it then.
delphipro5:
Got in touch with Dick's racing today, he is currently working on the Carb. I sent him. He told me he should be finished up with it tomorrow. He is doing the taper bore on it and installing a dial-a-jet, and rejetting it to compensate. I hope he sets it up for C-10 fuel but i'm not sure. I will give it a try set up his way and see how it goes. In the near future I will buy the boysen rad valve setup also, and I will be able to do some testing between the C.P.W. 39.5mm PWK / Vforce2 reed setup, and the Dick's taper bore D-a-J stockie mod/ boysen RAD valve reed setup. And also the swap of that. I will be able to do a lot of swap out combos and see what works the best. That should be a good time! :wink: And Larry's got my head going good, I should be seeing that real soon. I just got a PM from him today and he said he's working on it. He's a great guy, I love how clean the work is! GOOD STUFF!
