I have an 81 and have considered doing that; did you notice any improvements or disadvantages?

Well its NOT CHEAP but it was a unique version that got attention at the drive in bike night, mostly due to the Norton graphics. But seriously the engine was improved in the lower vibrations, it would NOT jitter around the garage on the centre stand unlike before. The gain is in smoothness overall,as some have pointed out its only a cool different version of a really loved model anyway and if you want a v-engine bike they are cheaper than any rephase. I did this because I could and it was fun.
