They are 4 lbs lighter than these. Not really for sale at this time. But I'll keep you updated. Trying to get some for my cafe build.

They are cool Man look sweet as all get out.
I think for a air cooled street bike the more fins the better.
Just a thought Brother

Love the billet. Curious about cooling (cylinder wear also) as well....... That much time into modding, I'd love to see the plant in a Christini!

Billet. Looks like something big twin guys would buy. You can have it.

Bad Ass????........................no I'd say they are just bad!

They appear to have maybe 40% of the cooling fin surface area of stock cylinders. Why would you want to decrease the cooling area of an air cooled engine????

 

[NONclow]

Biggest twin I got is 653cc. So I'll take it!

If that's solid aluminum billet, including the cylinder sections (no sleeving), I could see that as a potential 'biggest bore ever' nikasil coated cylinder block.

Suitable for a dedicated drag bike, with long cooldowns 'tween runs...

Pretty, yes. Racy,yes. Suitable for more than around the block street use, extremely doubtful. Cost? Don't even ask!

 

[DIRTY DOG]

great for the hill climers and drag racers but not for the street

Weld a water jacket around the cylinders before final machining.
