    I fitted the following

    Pm 172 head
    TDR pipe
    25mm carb
    sorted roller weights and springs
    carbon reeds

    its a real rocket and great fun! mines now stripped and im looking to lighten the flywheel and maybe do a few other bits.

    but the big power comes from the 172, even if you leave the bike stock and just alter the jetting you will still love the power

    i would like to know more about the gearing kits and using a 180 variator as i run standard gearing which the bike easily pulls off the clocks. i just dont want too loose that bottom end grunt

    i never ran mine in stages i just jumped in and got it all done in one go!

    so i cant honestly say, mud imagine bottom and mid range will be improved

    i plan to have my fly wheel lightened and such, maybe change the variator and drop the electric start etc

    i run a tdr which im happy with, but may switch to a pm 360 if i have the cash and do the bike up properly

    i think they are all similar you may bget better power low mid or high depending on pipe but over all youl be happy
