Not much news lately, the crank will be with me Monday or Tuesday after having the new conrod fitted by Eastwood racing, a new genuine Honda left hand crank bearing is being sent by Dave silvers.
In the mean time I have painted the cases and rocker cover.
The cylinder head has been cleaned and the combustion chamber has been reshaped into a cross between the original shape hemi and a pent roof combustion chamber by cutting the chamber at a flater angle to the valves then blending it in (you can just about make it out looking at the picture), a bonus is that the spark plug tip is less shrouded, this has also increased in volume from 60cc to 75cc which will give me a compression ratio of 7.5:1 with the spacer plate and the piston I have.
Already thinking about next year, I am going to put an ignitech programable ignition on the bike it has a single wire activated 2nd ignition map, so I can have a cruise map with lots of advance to support the low compression motor and a retarded map when on boost activated automaticity by a pressure switch in the intake plenum, I also want to fit new seats and 2mm oversize exhaust valves, but cant afford either of these this year
