Hello everybody;
Per mert suggestion I would like to introduce myself.
I'm Carlos from TPUSA ( Triumph Performance USA).
Id been playing with bikes my entire life, first with "Old Brit Iron", Norton, BSA, Triumph, Vincent.
Now with new Hinckley 360 and 270 twins.
I own a 2003 T100 that maybe few of you know.
Id' been testing most of the big bores available ( 904-988-994-1087) for the last 3+ years as well as many different goodies made to gain performance for these motors.
So far I have 110- 115 RWHP in my current 1087 big bore kit in full street trim.
Looking forward to chat with you fellas!

Let me be the first, Carlos; welcome. I used to read the now-defunct Modified Bonneville forum at Delphi and it's good to have pioneers like you out there. Currently, big-bores, etc, aren't something I'm interested in (gotta learn to ride the thing first!) but it's good to know that, when I do get to that stage, the work will have been done. Keep it up!!! Neill

I used to visit the defunct forum , but I was harrazed badly many times by the Admin for the simple reason that I wasn't using the Wiseco big bore kits.
Also Dinqua had a bad time there as well about carburetors issue.

Got that right. I was summarily banned for daring to have an opinion of my own that did not match the moderator. Any talk of alternative carb kits other then the "approved" kit was quashed and ridiculed post haste.
Glad to have ya here Carlos! Welcome to the civil group of mostly grownups.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Hi Carlos,
Do you ride with that group that meets in Cambria every year? The reason I ask, I met a Carlos there many years ago. A really great group of guys and girls.

Carlos, I was thinking the same thing, about the Cambria Ride. The wife (AmyLee) and I have been to the last two events at the Palms. Brian (1AWG)of the NorCal Presidents group along with Hawk, Malcolm, Nutnsez, Baldwyn, Cliff, Brittwheels, just to list a few that ride each August. Welcome to the streched out Bonnie site. Bob

Yeah, I remember the "issue" very well Pat.
About the approved kit, there are few options as you well known.
Your alternative was an excellent one, but biased people can't or won't understand.
Thanks for the Welcome!
