Combat to standard conversion

Thanks worntorn, and I believe you. A friend had a Mk3 in very good shape and it was actually faster than it felt. I had a Harris Bonnie at the time, with a better (E3134 if you speak Triumph) exhaust cam and high compression, it ran pretty good. The Mk3 felt softer but pulled half a bike length on me before we ran out of road.
I've suggested reverting to twin Amals on this thing but the owner is happy and he's the boss. But then he hasn't ridden the 750 yet (both are his bikes) so perhaps he'll change his mind after he tries it?

I'm presently working on a Mk3 (worn cam) and it'll be interesting to compare the threesome.
(As an aside, the Mk3 cases are really beefy, the Combat drive side in particular is like an egg shell next to it.)
