Quick update.
Had to locate another rear wheel for the bike. The hub didn't allow the wheel to "center" inside the arm. I got lucky and a friend removed one from his bike to upgrade to a newer style wheel. My machinist friend is currently making spacers so we can turn the chassis into a bonafide roller after we mount the new front and rear slicks on the rims. I'll post a few pictures, hopefully on friday, of the roller.
I also dropped a set of virgin Mark 2 cases and virgin Mark 2 crank off to the him to get the cases bored for the big block. An index rod passed through the crank so he's going to weld it up for me. The big block has to be resleeved and bored to 85mm. I'll be ordering a new set of 85mm (1500cc) pistons on friday along with a new cam chain, upper and lower case studs. I want to at least get the bottom end of the motor built by mid January and then get the head set up with new cams after that. The plan is to have a brand new engine built by the end of January. I'll try to pain the body work at the end of February or first of March- looking pretty isn't going to win racing so its the very last thing i'll tackle. I'd like to have the bike ready to go down the track for testing by mid March so we can be on schedule for the first Man Cup race of the season on April 10-12 down in Valdosta, Ga.
Stay tuned fellas!!!!!!
