I'm building my street tracker and am torn between some options as far as building one of these motors. The bike will be ridden mostly short cruises and on 55MPH highways with the ocassional trip couple hours away. Alot of that will determine gearing though.
The things I will for sure be doing are rephase, cam (grind depends on what motor combo I go with), ported head, full exhaust, 36MM Mikuni flat slides.
Now I am torn between just honing and throwin a new set of piston's in, going with a 750 big bore kit with heads from Mikes or Central, going with a 750 kit with new sleeves pressed in from Hoos, or going with a set of Hoos 700cc pistons, or boring stock cylinders out to get a 707cc motor. Any opinions good or bad are welcome.
And also looking as to any engine builders near southern WI that will be able to press apart and rephase crank with proper runout and such. I currently have a Pamco ignition that Ive never used that I would be able to send back and upgrade to the dual rephased igntion.
Thanks, Justin
