Good luck getting it figured out and I'm glad your friend is doing OK.
  I picked up a couple of old SOHC drag bikes recently and made a friend of a former Honda racer. I'm hoping for some advice from him when I get something running. He wheelied over on his back at Cordova this year on a busa but is doing OK, just needed some stitches on his elbows.

Don. I hope you can make something happen with the  dragbikes. Sure would be nice to see someone else putting an SOHC on the dragstrip. Bill made a return to action this year on a limited basis but seems to have his sights on a full season next year. I  was able to get my F3 in the winners circle once this year. Neither Wibur nor Larry were able to enter competition for various reasons but I'm hoping they'll be able to show up in 2022. I've got some winter time tear downs to do on all my bikes. In particular, the F3 will need some special attention to bring it back to its full potential.

It would be nice if everyone at least makes an effort to bring their bikes to the Man Cup finals event in November 2022.

  I have 3 chances. One really nice frame and truckload of parts. The 836 RC engine made some noise today, the turbo motor is stuck so it needs split and an 1124 stroker needs the sleeves o ringed or at least a gasket that will seal. The stroker isn't destined to see competition unless I swap out the crank. I think it would still be over 1000cc's.

Well, it seems the suspension is working pretty good based on these sequential shots from the Man Cup race.

 Yeah, the front tire looks pretty light but is still rolling.

Yeap, the tires skating lightly.. The main thing to see is the progressive rebound of the suspension in each shot. It stayed planted through the 60'.
