What I will try next is a 1986 larger radiator, a relocated fan with extra ducting and some form of heat sinks added to the system to increas surface area cooling. Replace the #38 with #35 slow speed jets and install #112 main jet in the rear cyclinder carb to match the #112 in the front cylinder carb. hopefully this is enough to get into the 80 - 90 mpg zone with consistancy.

I will also design and build a new front fender that improves the airflow around the front wheel and forks, and directs more air at the bottom of the radiator.
