Good job Lakes I love build projects Are you dropping the compression for reliability? or you just don't want to use 98 RON
Good stuff John. My brother is right into bikes. He is into vintage bikes and likes to get them back to original condition
I would love some carbon wheels!!
Likewise John, It took 3 attempts but we got there in the end. Your 5 hour return journey was much appreciated.See I told you everyone would love this thread. I'm sure it will get lots of views.
few more pictures, I had the piston skirts dry lube coated, and about to do heads, the intake port looks good stock, will weld up exhaust port floor. also a few carb's I have, not sure what one I'll use. one is a 2 inch SU with improved float chamber.the other one is an S&S super D that has a thunder jet ( gives it one more fuel curve up high so can use a smaller main jet, for sharper mid range throttle response )
@Dazzler , don't know how much you know, simply :Basically Lakes is aligning the intake flow to allow faster amounts of mixture in . "More Power"Valves bigger for increased flow. "More Power ".Valve springs stronger enough to handle roughly 20% more valve lift than he's going to use . "No Stress" - reliability increase. Forks - front suspension units. Springs coils inside hyd tubes.Rear shocks- rear suspension units. Spring coils over hyd tubes.Its being built strong enough to be : flogged all day, every day, for the next 20 years. @Lakes ,Not going to get much traction is in 1st, or 2nd !
My old 192 ran triple springs, low lift but long duration. Quick open and quick closed.
