Jaybe64 you can resize your photos on yoyr phone.thats what i do.down to 40% of original size.just to play devils advocate why bother porting/skimming etc for relative small gain? It will be far more reliable and long lasting if you keep her as std ?

Took me a couple of goes to work it out.im hopeless with tech stuff.usually have to ring one of my grown up daughters for help.i have a go at taking pics of the magazine article for you.its somewhat optimistic on performance and gushing with praise but it was a long time ago.i had a Kettle for many years that was Stan the man stage 3 polished n ported and in 1976 would have been quite sporty but these days just slow old nails but love em to bits.i just so point of great expense for minimal return on a 50 odd year old machine.they are lovely to ride as is.

If you have at least an i phone click on any photo and at bottom of screen should be a symbol of a pen.click on that and in top right of screen should be 3 dots.click on the dots one of which should say resize.click on that and select down to 40%and save it.you should be able to add any photos on to this forum you resize then
