The ideal situation would be a fuel injector with a data cable to plug into a laptop to make jetting adjustments..
But then I start to think about how much time and tinkering its gonna take to get the bike to point where it is right now with stock carbs/HRC jetting which is damm near perfect. I'm sure you will come to your own conclusions. I have read on forum others have used Lectrons with success so I am anxious to hear your story should you use them. Hopefully you can get them to put a TPS sensor on them.
For now my NSR sits by itself while I start on a new project. I recently came across an original BMW GP frame circa early 70s that I am building into a custom bike. The donor bike arrived yesterday. But that is for a different thread on a different forum.
I've seen some few folks do convertion from stock carb to lectron HV on their NSR mc18,21 and 28 with good success on the internet but they are purely used more on track than what I'll normally do which would be in road use and rarely on track, some of them haven't replied back on my inquires about what they've gain on upgrading on Lectron carb the only responses I got is "Fuel efficiency" and that's all.
Putting a Lectron HV on my 21 will be a hefty job since some of the descriptions they've stated is that it takes tons of $$$ and time consuming to calibrate it out to what they really wanted to achieve and make the bike perform to what they wanted it to be.
As of now I'm only exploring and tinkering with the idea whether to get Lectron HV 36mm to replace and preserve my stock carb or just rethink my decision and spend it to other valuable spare parts.
