Having had both i can say i have not noticed any difference's in performance between the two and believe it's just down to personal choice.

I have used both dyna and boyer and never had any problems with either, there is an upside with boyer for me though, they are made just a few miles from where i live and you can just walk in and get your parts.

In 1985 while working in Tonbridge one of these flew over where i was working on it's way to West Malling airfield it was only about 150 - 200 feet up and the sound of those four merlins on full chat is some thing i can still hear to this day, bloody fantastic, a couple of times a year i also get tr...

Very timely post. All the threads for the cam caps in the head of my GPz are fooked. A couple previously repaired with helicoils but they pulled out with the bolts. Will these work for this application? Was looking at Timeserts but my local engineering shop doesnt do them. these may work on the hol...

..... i'm on the middle notch, this gives me 108.5 jet size, is this ok with the 4 in 1 exhaust :?: NO The main jet is 107.5 - irrelevant on needle position. The needle just alows the main jet to be in operation at different rates/different throttle openings. : Can't quite understand this sequence ...

if it was running ok before you put the airbox on, try running it again with the k&ns and if it runs fine change jets and needles, the 1978 thou also had different ones. main 105, needle 5dl31-3rd groove, pilot jet 15, i will look in the garage tomorrow to see if i have some, but i have a feelin...

107.5 main jet ,needle 5cn8-3rd groove, pilot jet 17.5, this is for the 1977 Z thou

I'd say that was a fair price, but you could probably get more on fleabay.
