RE: Lanier Laser 200 33% kit completion
I had been pondering a while what to do for power. When I bought the kit, the original build had a Quadra 75XL that he was going to use. By all accounts, it was certainly powerful enough, but it was rather heavy. Plus, because of the cowl design on the Laser 200, I was going to have like half the cylinder head hanging down below the cowl. That obviously wouldn't do, so I sold the Quadra and went searching for a replacement. I started looking for an 80 twin that would fit and didn't really have a whole lot of luck. Either too big, too heavy, or too pricey. I ended up getting a DLE-111. You would thing this kit was built around it. Both cylinders fit perfectly in the cowl bulges, the stock standoff put the spinner to cowl gap at about 1.5-2mm. The carb does extend slightly below the cowl, as you can see in the pictures, but it is not by much. I may just build a bulge onto the bottom on the cowl to cover it and protect is as well as to house an air filter.
