Okay everyone. I’ve been recently getting my photos from shit bucket to reupload my pictures.


Recently Liam from sportbikegear sent me the tps setup for my fcrs. I haven’t been able to mess with it much.very cool kit. Very detailed.  I was unsuccessful shortening one of my fingertips, so I kinda have a useless right hand.

Just picked up a NOS set of Roadracing brake scoops and a Roadracing front fender, inspired by this thread.

I don't even want to know how much those cost. I'm testing the whole "budget" concept.

I’m fine now my finger nail looked like a tree root for a little while. It’s almost back to normal.

Thanks koko

I’ve been thinking about making some new progress on the build. I know this sounds stupid, but I’ve dreded boxing up the cylinders and pistons for a fresh bore job. It’s such a pain in the ass to carefully box everything up and cost of postage and insurance. I just remember the paranoia shipping my heads to ducshop.

Glad you're recovering man.
Maybe just higher comp pistons  clean up the ports yourself and call it a day?

Theyre 1100 pistons. The size is escaping me at the moment. I have hyper cylinder but they have piston scrape marks on the walls. When I had the Ferrari pistons I was just going to risk it and use the hyper cylinder but I replaced those with pistals. If the cylinder eats a set of rings it’s $100 per set and worse case damaged piston. Then I’d be cryin the blues.

It’s like a snowball that's big enough to run you over financially. Larger aftermarket pistons, shit now I need the rotating assembly balanced. Ugh. Whatever. I know I don’t have too, but with the amount of money spent so far, I don’t want to skimp.

Sunds exactly like where I´m going with my "spare" YM1100 motor for my track bike. Started as a back-up, now it´s all in bits with Carillo, Pistal, crank balanced, DP cams, close-ratio gearbox, new bearings all around ordered, .... Having retired, the snowball increased in size as well so it will have to take the time it has to take.
