    8 valve head ?

    This morning visited Jerry vd Heiden. It's clear now. Indeed it's complicated. The reving is an issue, even as finding a suitable head. If you want this, it can be done. But the cost and effort are way bigger than the result. This engine is simply not designed for that kind of...

    HP On rebuild

    And i think your so right about that. It's probably not possible to push the boundry of 70 HP. Well, i'll just have to settle fore that. The new frame is about 10 K lighter than the original. A lot of original stuff can be waisted. So i'll end up with a bike thats lots of K's lighter...

    HP On rebuild

    And this kinda thoughts just crossed my mind as well. Why you ask ? Because its just a heck off fun to do so. (except the exploding thing offcourse) I just build my bike up by example of mule. (the one with the magic black wheels) And the next fase is to get as much HP as possible...
