Been wanting to build this for a while.
I've got a fresh plated early 70mm barrel.
Choice of 58 or 60 Crank.
107 or 110 rod.
Boysen or standard reeds.
30mm phbh or 34mm flat slide delly
Jl3, jl4, taffy copy NK Road or fresco
What would you do?

60x110
Boysen
30 delly
NK Road

As AF intended.....standard kit, good 107 crank, Fresco and to get better economy a 30mm phbh - they do all you need in this form.
Ive ran 34 VHSB and taffy copy for years with no problem but heavy on juice so moving to 30mm carbs for this year....working on jetting at minute.
Just put a fresco on (ali end can) one bike and was pleasantly surprised on the test runs. The fresco runs on further than the taff copy but the taff copy is a more civilised ride
I stub mounted the fresco u bend
So im running this year standard kits with taffy copy and another with fresco

64x118
Yamaha reeds
VHSH 30
NK Road all day (Ron Moss clubman works well if you like standard looks)
5 speed box

to get port timings usable 64x118 would require considerable work

True Old skool would be a mazzachelli 107 crank, standard kit, Amal Mk 2, fresco, standard 4 plate clutch with a centre spring, GP gearing and 19/46 sprokets.....

You can to rocket to over 90mph on that set up.........well you could back then allegedly but I think that's with a 10 quid Indian 120mph speedo.....

I guess I’m still running old school, my GP.
34 years on!
TS200
Second piston ,
Michec exhaust (absolutely terrible)
Now bgm box
Still going strong

I like to hear things like that!

Running a TS1200, Yamaha IT175 piston, 58mm /115mm RD400 rod, with 30mm Amal and Mikec MK5 or 6 cant remember which, think the barrell is No 66 or somewhere near that,.

Ive got a rayspeed S type 1988
Ts1 200
34mm Amal
Midland scoot exhaust.
Af light flywheel
12v DC.
Got a woosner piston as 2 assos failed.
I should have said Old Skool tuned ts1

Yeah, a bit. 5mm of weld added to the top of the barrel.

Jet200 casing Matched to Ts1
Mb tuned TORQUE TOUR TUNE with 3mm base packer
Bgm clubman modified
Sx200 gearing 15x46 although I could use a 16 also.
I normally use a 25 delly on it for loads more torque over bhp
Putting on the 30 ups the gains big time both on bhp & Torque

So great to hear there are a few TS 200 still going!
martyn dwane , could never get mine to rev out all those years ago with a Michec exhaust , great acceleration but topped out at 50! Used an old PM for years then and still using a BGM V1 which is great.

I thought you said NK road pipe?
That’s why I was asking of your full setup m8

It did but I don’t like expansion pipes so changed it for a modified Bgm as I like the standard looks

Old school TS1 225 port to Taffspeed spec use early indian head ,34mm amal and a mk 6 Mikec Exhaust in it's day a rocket built a few when I Worked at taffspeed in 88

My ts1 200
Gpsd at 75.ph on the same day and road as about 10 other scoots.
Well in the top 1/3rd
Beat some more modern kits and tunes.
