Need advice on Honda Elite 50 big bore cylinder kit.

Thanks for the replies. I just got The Polini Contesta kit and pipe today but cannot put them on until i get some jets. I am going to go with the stock carb for now until i get the Polini carb from Daywot which i hope and plan on doing. I see he is again selling the Daytona jet kits but i will have to wait to have them shipped from Hawaii. At least i found them. Anyone know anyone in Michigan who sells some of this aftermarket parts and accessories stuff and "Actually stocks it"
I searched and found nothing worthwhile on the whole internet. It would be nice to pickup roller weights and that kind of stuff locally.

Thanks fellows. I will post how the kit goes asap.

Why the polini carb? you do know jets are much harder to get for that carb than keihin or mikuni jets which can be found at any motorcycle shop or dealer.

Hi. I am not sure which carb i want to go with, but as long as it is a quality carb like Keihin or Mukini which i know are good carbs, but i also know Polini is a very good quality name and i have the cylinder on my Elite so i figured i would go with them. I just thought the Polini would be a nice quality carb with no issues? but i didnt know getting jets would be a problem.

I installed the R-1 pipe and the Polini Contesta cylinder/head bore yesterday and it made this Elite wake up real fast. I can say i am very pleased with it. It makes the stiffer clutch springs i put back in 2 years ago on the stock motor actually work much better right now. It wont wheelie or nothing off the line. I felt a grinding buzzing which i later found out it was that rubber pad off the muffler that the kickstand touches and rests upon when it is lifted, and i see you are supposed to reuse it on your new muffler which in my case is the R-1 so i took the rubber pad off my old muffler and it went right on the R-1 muffler. Originally I thought it was my roller weights/trans doing something so i took out the 2,000+mile 8 and 9 gram roller weights and they were badly divited in one side like someone took a dremel drill to them in one spot so all i had was 11 and 12 gram weights and they work great together now and that is what i am using as of today. I did try the 6 and 7 gram at first but it was like the revs were up too high and it wouldnt move as good off the line and through the midrange.

I have to say Daywot was great at answering my questions i had a couple days ago and i finally ordered his Daytona jet kit for my stock carb for now. All i need now is that bigger carb/airbox and i am good to go for some reliable speed city/country driving.
