Hi DanHa ha ha! I stand corrected!
Back in the spring I spoke with Steve a little about this engine, he shared some information with me in regards to the modified intake angle.
I’m fascinated by the work being done here and excited to see more!
Will you be sharing your porting work or is it to secret/classified?
Daniel.
Steve Mann recently sold the 880 engine, as the size puts him into the 1000cc bracket, and although the engine is 90hp, the BMW1000 airhead engines are over 100hp
he got £6500 for it, for a guy who is going to put it in a road bike
Back when I was experimenting with the XS head, decades ago,I was mig welding the cast chambers to a bathtub,slow process but it can be done without distorting the head or cap. Never occurred to me to braze em up
And a dyno sheet to prove what exactly? No peeps on my end, I've proved my point years ago , do you think you're the only one who's digested the XS 650 head for extra flow that yielded positive gains? And besides, I was making a friendly comment to have a conversation with Christian, not you, so why are you being so defensive? This is one of the reasons I left this forum, people like you who get their feathers ruffled by misreading the context of the message. The work you've done is nothing new( but it's pretty porn) as I was doing it decades ago just never pushed it to your extent and went in another direction to achieve my personal goals in reconstructing the intake port and like you I was successful. Christian if you're reading this, glad to see you come back every now and then........Laterall conjecture without a dyno sheet too prove it
lots of peeps on this forum saying " do this and do that" but without proof positive its just fresh air
