G'Day Mate, do a search on "Paulages", Paul used a CB650 engine in his CB500 Cafe bike, and took it out to 718cc, using 61mm CB750 pistons. I don't think you can take them out much further than that without major engineering work. Cheers, Terry. ;D

oh yeah, and it's 64mm pistons that make 718cc, just to not confuse the boy.


yes, very easy... a couple of set screws and some loctite, and a little re-routing... not a problem. better, in my opinion.

True, but 66mm pistons make a 763cc bike.... :)
And cb900 DOHC liners(should) work good, being 64.5mm to begin with.

Oil passages become a problem though. But thats easily overcome.
