I was told the crankcases retail for AU$10,000.
My goodness.
A relative bought a brand new engine for an ultralight he built ( a while back).
That would go a fair way towards the full cost of it.
Well, nearly half anyway....
Much of it is CNCed though.
My (Commando) head on an 850 is an RH10, and for a road bike they seem to be entirely adequate.
Its never been near a dyno.
I have other bikes too, and riding isn't as big a part of my life these days.
More go would be nice, especially if its just a bolt on goodie, so its curious no-one has tried one on a dyno.
For Alan. A few years back, I went to a bike show where they were doing free dyno runs in the park.
They had a mobile dynojet dyno on a trailer.
The big performers were a hotrodded 955i and a ZZR1100 ( it was a while back).
The SPEED those things could zip through the gears told you they had some serious mumbo.
Its the TIME taken that is used to calculate the torque and hp curves.
I filmed them - in low res- but 50 deep back in the crowd of onlookers its mostly just noise.
I always do a mouse copy every now and then, keeps the longer posts safer....
