Hi All,
just started a full restoration (an ex 850 Interplod):
I originally re-built this bike 28 years ago for my brother-in-law; he loved and cherished it for about a year and it was then abandoned with various bits being pilfered by his local bike expert.
I now have it back for yet another restoration - I will not be parting with it this time, pictures and maybe many questions to follow.....................................
Finished the engine today (19/09/09), spec is:
Ports cleaned and opened up to 32mm.
R&D multi rate valve springs with titanium caps.
Valves fitted with lash caps.
10:1 pistons – 851cc.
3” radius tappets.
Megacycle cam – 560-00 profile.
Carrillo con rods.
Balanced crank – 63%.
Frame powder coated about two years ago - just add one engine and gearbox.........................
Regards,
John S
