Mike,

The 1000cc bike looks killer.  A real beast!

I just got my head via UPS.  It looks amazing.  I can't wait to put it to good use.  It's going to turn my new build into a monster.

You got those RS34's dialed in Mike..? What cam did you end up going with.?   Looks tough, love the big block look, can't wait to build mine, did you use sleeves or nikasil like mine..?.. Can't wait to see dyno numbers as well.... 8)

I'm happy you've taken the time to get it sorted Mike. It's a cool looking top end alright. What's the new handle though, "million dollar" has likely been surpassed.  ;)

Definitely some deviation from stock. I'm curious why Mike stayed with tube fuses as opposed to blade fuses.

Retro was correct...it is an F2 fork/caliper set up with early rotors that have had the OD reduced and have been thinned out quite a bit.

Branden..there are relays for the coils and horn. The main fuse has been seperated from the fuse box and is a blade unit. The new Rec/Reg has been mounted under the battery box for more exposure to air. The power lead from the batter to the starter solenoid is from an FJ1200.....much heavier. It also has a lead if you wanted to attach a switched accessory (horn relay etc).

Don...I guess I'm old fashioned in that sense. ;D Actually new fuse boxes are available in Europe. I separated the main out of the box (which always melts the plastic around the fuse terminal ). Never had any problems with the other circuits in regard to the melting so....... It fits perfectly too! ;D Got to keep some parts period correct. ;) ;D ;D
