[Mad Hatter]

I’m in. What’s the plan Mikey?

 

[mikeyboy]

I’m in. What’s the plan Mikey?

I built this motor for a project about 5 years ago,but although I had it running I changed my plans.
Omega 1000 high comp pistons,
Big port RS heads.
All new valve gear etc.
Been gathering dust so I’ll give it a proper clean /check over and maybe a few more upgrades

 

[Mad Hatter]

Is that from your red desert racer?

 

[mikeyboy]

No I sold that

 

[timeandtide]

No I sold that

I’m in.
Looking forward to it.
’bout time you built yourself summat!

 

[Mad Hatter]

Looks like it will be a motor with some real umph!

 

[mikeyboy]

Same spec as the red bike,pretty much,
But this one’s a light flywheel,more to follow.

 

[mikeyboy]

That’s as stripped as it needs to be.
I’m about stuck now till some parts start to arrive next week

 

[King Rat]

I shall follow with interest.

Has anyone ever done a lightweight 600cc? Something in the order of 160kgs all up with a bit of go.
