Help! Bike place in Keighley
I need to get some 175 main jets tomorrow, but most local places dont stock any, or non that big. Place in wakefield recommended by alan only stocks
up to 160, which isnt much bigger than 155 standard. Im going to ring holeshot in the morning, as they surely must have some? But failing that,
someone told me there is a performance bike place in keighley, west yorks. Google isnt helping, so does anyone know the name of the place? Any help
appreciated.

Might be easier to get a 1.75mm drill bit...
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

the thought crossed my mind! My nearest is 2mm, a friend says he has a 1.7 bit, which i might try now actually.... ive got two sets of carbs so can
afford some fiddling!

Colin Appleyards? Fairly sure that they run some racebikes from the Keighley one.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

i rang the leeds appleyards, they reckoned that i needed to call a kwak dealer. It was a place with a short name, maybe 4 letters, followed by
'performance motorcycles' or something like that.

if you cant get the jets from holeshot you could get a 1.75mm drill from bradford bolt and nut on Leeds road going into bradford. left hand side as
you start to go down the hill.

It still catches us out, we always need stuff at the weekend and we've rarely got our arses in gear before noon 
Half our car is made from bits from Bradford B&N and the rest from Champion motor spares (next door)

Should have known really, they worked on a mates engine, and apparently did the Crossflow head for his Mk1 Escort.

got it sorted now thanks, no answer from holeshot so i went to bbn, got the drill bit, and sorted it myself. Dead easy in fact, suprisingly. Pulls
like it should now, if a little hesitant before it gets onto the main jet, but thats to be expected! Cheers for the help all.
