busa ash Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 few parts gathered , will be some engineering required Quote Link to comment
markfoggy Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I know where there's a breathed on (heavily I suspect, but no idea of the specs) GS1000 race engine. Needs a dash of lead in the fuel to stop it pinking, so something going on in there. Head has certainly been ported. It fell out of a successful club racing P&M, surplus to requirements. Drop me a line if it sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment
