pts106 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hi Jonas.

Thanks for the compliment.

The cable clutch is not hard to pull at all. I've found the bike lever on the gear lever somewhat lighter than the PVP setup I've had before. Can't comment on a hydraulic setup. I've never had one, but I'll be testing a friend's brand new PVP with hydraulic clutch in the next few weeks. I'll let you know how that feels compared to my setup.

As for the single radiator, it's a two-core unit and the side tanks have the spoon type internal deflectors you see inside Porsche 928 / 944 radiators. I understand that slows the flow down inside the radiator cores for better cooling. It ran at 75 degrees under race conditions with ambient temps close to 30 degrees over here, so no problems yet, even when I jetted slightly rich. If you look at the pics you'll see I have an extra air intake on the righthand side pod feeding cooler air to the carbs and engine. I think that helps a bit with cooling also.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Pierre.
