McLean Racing

Looked like a brilliant turnout

If you are going to fit the cam to cam style feeds, only ever take the main feed from the main oil gallery at the bottom of the motor. If you take it from the rocker cover you will have reduced oil pressure at the head as that feed is for the cooling system side of the pump.

May be possible that weekend, id have to see how many bikes to bring though lol

Ive seen them before. defo a factory thing but no idea why

May struggle with this one but ill let you know

Not gonna lie. I like a squeaky clean bike, in my own opinion, if you're going to "show" your bike, i like to see bikes that the owners take pride in. I see enough rat bikes in my line of work that seeing them at a show wouldnt interest me but each to their own

In MY opinion, if you are building an engine that "warrents" the need for aftermarket rods, then you're already spending big money, so dont cheap out on the rods either, buy Wossner or Carillo.

Good question, in my own opinion.......nothing. But I suppose the good bits are that although I have built it to promote my business and what I can do, its also a personal bike so there was no time limit and no expense spared. Aside from the engine and cdi setup which is the 2nd stage of the build for later this year, everything is pretty much new, every bearing, seal, bolt, brackets, subframes, fairings, brakes, tyres etc etc, Even the clocks are NOS 0 mile clocks, so it was built to be better than what id be able to buy (athough I could have bought one for what ive spent to date). Its got the SP forks with YSS springs, YSS rear suspension, Accossato master cylinders, most of the bracketry is all carbon fibre, nearly all the bolts now are titanium, its super light for a road bike and built to handle as good as one can. I havent been on the forum much in recent years just due to life and work, but ill do a build thread when I get time. I never did one or even put it on any social media platforms so no one knew what I was building.

Realy enjoyed this weekend, its been over 10 years since I attended a show with OSS due to racing commitments and it was nice for a change of pace and to be able to chill for a weekend. Im glad you all liked the little RGV, its taken a couple of years to build but it was 100% worth it and apart from the GSX1700 dragbike, id say its my best build to date, defo a keeper. Big thanks to Paul for the invite, and great to meet up with Havoc, Wee Man, Dodge, Rossco, Bow, Claire, Jay etc etc.

Beleive it or not, there is no real "easy" way to convert to carbs on these, its doable for sure, but theres alot of other factors in doing it. The kit I am designing will allow plug and play into the stock wiring loom and allow both full EFI tunability, or to still be used on carbs. It will also have a multitude of additional input and output functions which will be fully programable. As for engine tuning, i have almost sorted out some engine componants which once I have actually built up a spare motor and run it, i will be able to offer these for general sale too. Unfortunately it is going to be at least the summer till all of this is sorted.
