Carpenter 240 Kit questions


that’s why I’m settled on just leaving the stock tranny as is. It’s been great for 7K+ miles so far with no issues. We shall see how it goes!!
 
That's what I have too. If you want heat shields look for 10.6" universal heat shields. I got some cheap on EBay.

Just my 2 cents, nothing looks better or sounds better on the Rocket Like Carpenters pipe! I just don’t personally care for the spring joints and the adapter plate. If they made them direct bolt up and welded for the same price I’d buy them now!
 
I love both of them. Before I decide on heat shields and what not, I'll just bop around with the unpolished steel set of pipes and really wring the bikes neck for the remainder of the riding season here in Colorado. Once winter is here, I won't get to ride until the following Spring. Winter time is great for adding modifications, that's when the new rear tire will be going on. I've also never had a fairing on any of my motorcycles so finding something that would actually help when exploring more of Colorado would be nice.
 
Oh! I almost forgot. Bob has some meatier head studs for the R3. Are those necessary for the 240 engine kit or are those offered for engines with forced induction?

No, but you have to replace the originals anyway. It’ll cost like $150 for the set of reusable APE headstuds. The OE studs are torque to yield, single use studs.

I assume that would be part of the 240 kit considering Bob will have to pull the head off.

The APE studs are not included. I chose to get them for the likely event of needing to remove the head in the future.

Keep in mind, a performance build at this level may need service. Buy the bolts once and done.

I’ll inquire about those with Bob, I have no problem getting some.
