What? Huh?

2 pounds lighter, ported by Randy Evans, capable of running 20-28" bars, more modern, 100% complete, and from a really standup AS member and friend of mine.
Ed got what he wanted, in fact I believe once he runs that ported 440, he'll realize he got way more.

I bet that 266 with the 272 top end is somewhere between 13-13.5 lbs.

You need a 288? I have another one, just not as nice as this one. It needs a bit of work, but I'll let you know when I'm getting ready to sell it.

 

[rocketnorton]
