I've finally found a full set of race bodywork for my '88 Spondon. Just thought I'd say

My AJF 1216 (bandit12/Gsxr based engine)

Nowt wrong with a draw through.

I've ran 20+psi on the drag strip with nothing but Busa pistons on dyna2000. They worked well. I've now fitted JE pistons.

Are you selling this?

I didn't Kyle but only because I've been manic busy. Once I'm back offy hols next week I'm going to get this bike sorted. Cheers

only just noticed your posts. That fairing below is ideal. That's just what I'm after. Thank you. How did you find it?

Thank you but SRAD is a bit too modern for what I'm looking for.

yes once I've found the bodywork I'm after.

Sam must have been out then.

I'm using an iPhone Viz. all my pics are on this and tried the app that is posted up by Ash but it gives no indication of size in Mb, only in pixel or mm. Never been any good with photo stuff on forum boards.

He doesn't make the tea, his missus or daughter does. Great tea it is too :-)

Right. I've got the crank out and doesn't look too difficult to cut. Not sure of the best way to join it back though. I'm thinking probably a couple of very high shear dowels fitted between the two bits and a deep 'V' root weld followed by further passes. Guess I might find out the real reason of the name "Big Bang" engine. ps. I do have pics but no matter what I do it keeps saying they're too big! 0.39mb image ends up so pixelated that it legal looks like the old Space Invaders game :-(

no cheap air cooled stuff about.

probably not worth it but I'm going to do because I think I can, no other reason.

you still need to chop and join the cams through 180*

I could and I've done that before on A series engines. The big twin isn't what I'm after.

cams too but that's much easier to do. We did this to A series engines 20+ years ago. Reason I asked about crank was the far greater load put upon it.

....or maybe even TWO engines strapped together to give the REAL Yank v8 noise. I do have one or two engines sitting around. :-)

I was looking at 1/2-4/3.... basically to give a rumble quite like a Yank v8 without the 8 pots.

my engineering skills are purely YouTube learnt. I now believe the crank may be en24 and therefore rather unweldable anyway due to being too brittle. On this basis my plan may be a non starter.

...and why not ;-)

looking to change the whole characteristics Kenty.

B12 crank.... I need to chop it in half between no2 and 3. What method would be best to join it back up? I know it'll need welding but would a simple spline between the two parts suffice?
