Haha, my 1277 slabby was going to just be a stockish streeter until I came across a dirt cheap set of 83mm pistons. Oh boy did it escalate from there. I had to stop counting so I made a conscious effort to keeps the cost of the 1340 in check. Buying the 1340 bike cheap was a help and then selling the front and rear, spare tank and a few boxes of bits that came with the bike helped a lot. Initial cost was $6300aud including the freight and I'm only at $6100 now. Sold some doubles of parts I had lying around also

That's why it's got flat top pistons. Comp should be ok. Unless you are running the 1340 on the limit, I can't see why it would be a problem on the street. Mine is business as usual until I crank the throttle.

I have a head cooler on one of my road going bikes and one on the track bike. On the road going bike it's not as effective due to the stop start nature of traffic but on the track bike it makes a huge difference. Oil temp dropped noticeably and overall performance improved. I can't remember the temperature difference as I haven't been to the track for a while but it was significant. I'm running a 13 row on the head

Nice build. Harris seat suits well

I used paper on my home made pingel plate adaptor and it leaked so I used a Dremel and modified it to take the OEM petcock rubber. Bingo!

Nope

Camera angle deceiving but 80mm is centre to highest point(rs measure 74) and 80mm from face of carb boot to furthest point at the top

Is there an issue with the rs38's? The bike should sing along quite well with those if they're set up correctly. Can't see that there would be much to gain by going to fcr39's without some other accompanying mods and then may as well go to 41's

I usually wrap them in tape or 1mm aluminium sheet and use a multi grip to undo them

Had some time today so degreed the cams. Inlet was one tooth off. Would've liked a bit more duration on the inlet cam.

Yes, new plugs.

Yes you are right, my mistake . Degree wheel showed intake open at 45 btdc and closed 18 abdc @1mm lift. That's way off. In 8.85 lift Ex 8.25 lift

I think I've found it. Even without the centre chain gear removed, that looks like 20 pins to me.

Swapped the tmr40's over from my track bike and the no3 cold cylinder moved to no4. Up until now, no matter what I did, it's was always no3 that was cold . Swapped out the plug and all cylinders firing but still crap. Farting and popping and not revving clean. Also sounds like it's blowing back out through the carburettors.

Ah, not vague now. I don't have that T piece.
